fuel Q

[godsANGER]

hiya all,

Oks i serviced my car last weekend all filters etc. and have been driving eco, well eco for me since trying to make my fuel last a but longer, on the Clocks (i know there not the most accurate thing) been getting 40-50mpg eco (its the baby 90bhp) when normally get 30-35mpg on A and B roads but i seam to be putting more fuel in and not getting meanly miles outa it.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Mike

cold weather mate plus any mods you may have, i put a standard panel filter back in half way through winter and noticed an increase in mpg, n keep your revs below 2k

Dont think its any colder then before my service and eco'ing
The Cars pretty standerd TBH mate no engine mods running a standerd OM Air filer. only real mods are lowered and some visual mods. and been changing at or before 2k revs.  hence why confuzeld lol

Only real way its to brim it from tank to tank and work it out the old fashioned way.

I find that the more frugal I try to drive, the WORSE my economy is.  By tootling around you are actually not using the engine at its most efficient 

e.g my car is just as fuel efficient at 70-75mph as it is at 60mph.  At 70-75mph my engine is closer to its peak torque
