Tricky-Ricky Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Me... mine has dropped dramatically due to the constant cold starts and more enrichment needed from cold... Allways at the Fuel Station I tweaked mine for precisely that reason, a couple of weeks ago, always thought it was way too rich on start up summer or winter, so instead of it being about 10 AFR i now have it set for about 12, seems fine.

ShamelessTT Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 2bh i use mine when its dryish lol to keep in it tiptop condition (maybe twice a week). I have to say the fuel usage has been shocking tho! To put things into perspective, according to the odo trip thingy, ive done 540km/s and i havent reset it (fully filled up, this resets it doesnt it) for almost 4 months i bet.

jaymdee Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I actually got 287 miles from my last tank commuting (could have got more), whereas i usually only get 240. Driving nice and slow - have been reading about maximising fuel consumption in Auto Express and it bloody works! approx 25% extra miles!! Obviously when the road opens up I blat it, but when in traffic I'm being really careful with the right foot and using the vacuum reading on my boost gauge to tell me how hard I'm pressing the accelerator pedal. Can't believe the difference and no real reduction in fun as it's only when I've got cars in front of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I've always thought mine was heavy on juice especially with it only being an N/A but i have noticed it reducing slightly over the past month or so . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbonut Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 My N/A's consumption not good Even though I let it warm up a few minutes before pulling off but then mine's a daily driver and has to go out regardless!!
