I average 150-180 to the tank at £65-70

oil- 5/40 full synthetic

Thats a damn good price to fill up...hope your using super(99 ron) not the cheap fuel

std 4 injectors are yellow top

That rattle is most likely your lash adjusters(tappets) so try a slightly heavier oil 10/40 it may help but it's hard to get rid of it without taking them Out and cleaning them or uprating them to 3mm ones

I would also use the higher octane fuel you are lucky it's available in the uk when I had an Evo I had to buy a can of octane boost for every full tank of petrol :(

Its a definte no no using cheap lo octane fuel... tut tut tut

The evos are mapped to run on high octane (99) as japan uses it. Using lo octane fuel hinders performance and can det more easily causing engine damage
