ste91 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 No. Controlling your right foot/driving style/resisting temptation to boot it will all effect your fuel economy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 ^What he saidI get about 75 miles to £10 and I have an induction kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I can get 200 to £20 or 50 to £20........its all in the way you drive bro. Change gears at 2k use higher gears when you can accelerate slowly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Won't make any difference... Well perhaps if you realy wanted to go into detail you might get an extra mile or two, but tbh it won't do bugger all. As stated your right is the best petrol saver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
