shaneyb Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Hmm maybe it is the weather and fuel prices affecting my mpg + transporting 3 mates every day the past week probably topped it off.Cheers lads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 on the N/A its bellow the engine before the CAT,I got a NTK one for £50 plugged straight in no messing aroung with universals, but most tend to go for universals think its a 3 wire? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaneyb Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Just an update, the fuel economy is back to normal. Dont know what it was maybe the minus degree weather but im now back to doing 75ish miles to 7.5 litres of V power . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shahzad Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Iâ??m training to be a chemical engineer with BP. In winter we blend a slightly more vaporous blend of petrol so it ignites easier due to the cold weather. The blend of v power is basically the same as ultimate. Itâ??s probably likely that you have been filling up a lighter blend compared to what you have got previously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimbo-ep91 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 240 is ok-ish tho 300 to a tank for a N/A is where its at, dont forget petrol has gone up and our cars arn`t getting any youngerdirty injectors, tired engines it all adds up not to mention the cold starts use loads of extra fuel in the mornings especially when sensors are reaching the end of there lifejust be glad we dont have to fork out extra for having a unreliable carmine did 400 with the standard air filter on haha, since i put relocation filter on i gone down to about 300 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miib14 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 mine has been good and bad...put full tank vpower 38litres ish and got about 220ish miles... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metalmickey0 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 mine has been good and bad...put full tank vpower 38litres ish and got about 220ish miles...Hi all. After reading all through these posts i am amazed how rubbish evrerybodys fuel consumption is compared to mine. I thought mine was not too bad but compared to this lot mines excellent. Like 220 a tank . Lead foot or what. I get that before half a tank. I can get 340ish miles on 3/4 tank of normal driving.Never go much below 3/4 tank if i can help, but sure i`d get 400 til empty.

Driver Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 You all need your maps checked In my td04 V on EMB i could reguarly get 260miles to a tank and if i took it steady could get over 300 to a tank !!!Differant when raggin though, empty a tank in about 100 miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukew360 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I seem to get A LOT more MPG on V Power than I do on super unleaded Anyone else get more on V Power? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 ^Mine used to drink a LOT more using Tesco momentum on stock ECU compared to V-Power..Kept using shell on new ECU but wasn't getting decent mpg so I've tried Momentum again on my Mine's ECU and it seems to be pretty frugal, even with hard driving!

The Toffinator Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Bumping up an old thread, Just checked the fuel economy on mine, full tank of normal shell fuel and i got 277miles and the needle was well off the bottom, so running on fumes.I worked this out to a 45litre tank? and got 28mpg. This was a combination of hard driving, pootling in 5th gear etc.And i think its shite tbh!What was everyone else getting out of the n/as? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Not sure what mpg i got out of my n/a but it was shit lol get well more out of the glanza. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
