stup86 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 When driving normally I get about 260-280 to a full tank.Mods:BOVFilterFuel makes no difference to economy (well, I haven't noticed anything!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Blimey, your V is thirsty, that's even worse than my Levin (which is by no means economical to begin with, even when driving carefully ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paul w Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Cat back exhaust miles per gallon.........not very many... miles per tank not that many either, but by god it's fun! You have a pretty strange motor thats for sure,i never used to see high miles from the GT either really,between 200-250ish. Did you try a different ECU yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 im assuming you have put some fuel system cleaner through it already, but if not its worth a try. i seen improvements in fuel economy when i did this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 you see, theyre about the miles i was expecting from the v, but its never really done very well on fuel...You have a pretty strange motor thats for sure,i never used to see high miles from the GT either really,between 200-250ish. Did you try a different ECU yet?well it doesnt stink of fuel out the back like it used to, (since fitting the decat) but its still quite thirsty considering the lack of modifications.no, but i tried a 96 ecu before and it didnt seem to make alot of difference.im gonna hve to get this thing rolling roaded, it just worries me so much now.
