MPG on a vr6
« on: 02 December 2006, 21:05 »
Hi all can any vr6 drivers out there give me an idea of how many mpg there getting. Theres an induction kit on my car at the moment and the mpg seems really low. I know its a 2.8 but i was thinking of putting the air box back on with a panel filter to see how much of a difference that makes I'm not expecting miracles but a couple more mpg would be nice. Suppose i should calm down with my right foot as well its just that Ive only had it a week or so and that induction bark is addictive...... :shocked:

A full tank would do around 200 miles, 75% of which was in heavy traffic. My 8v does around 265 miles which again, the majority is in heavy traffic.
