Title: derv MPG
Post by: gtitdi on 10 May 2008, 18:28
one for those that visit the black pump...

got 450 miles since a full tank and the fuel light is about to come on
trip computer says 43mpg for the 450 miles

its been mainly motorway with some town driving, good bit of right foot in there too though

does this sound about right?

last tank was from Esso

mines a remapped 115

what would cause lower fuel consumption? do get a bit of black smoke every now and again

boost leaks, MAF, to name a couple

black smoke will probably be due to the remap mate - dumps extra fuel in.  Run some Forte diesel treatment through it every now and again to keep the fuel system clean - buy it from Ebay :afro:
