Consuming 1L of oil in a 4000km oil change cycle doesn't sound normal at all. My 2007 Yaris (1NZ-FE) 160000km consumes almost zero oil in 10000km Synth oil change cycle.

And as mentioned, high octane fuel won't get you more power or better fuel efficiency in regular passenger cars in normal road driving. They are for high performance sports cars that has a much high compression ratio, or someone who modify their engine for more compression.

It's those marketing people at Shell and Esso makes you think it is "better" for everyone.

There's a CBC Marketplace episode that busted this urban myth.
