Interesting point...
I put synth erl in my 20V in the fall. After 1K miles, I noticed unusual 
consuption. THe car had 62K on it at the time. Before it never TOUCHED erl.

Likewise I put synth erl in the TQC, and it hasnt touched a drop. 
Consumption is normal, and that was 5k ago. It had 79K on the clock, and 
now has 84K.  

Not sure why,but thats what I noticed.
