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?
-
thats about the same as me - i got the 130 pd
-
i'm getting 500+ and still have about 1/4 left, don't see the fuel light. that commuting back and for work, mainly duel carrigeway and town driving and a good dose of right foot :wink:
where you filling up??
remapped 130 by the way :afro:
sounds ok though but i'd keep an eye on it :smiley:

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:
