badger Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 hi guys, I've had my soop for about a year now it's a SZ ( non turbo ) and my mpg is shocking. i seem to be getting on average 13 to the gallon. Is this normall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 NO!. N ot unless you're 2 x limit everywhere. Several threads about this,use search. O2 sensor could be main culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 errm no is the simple answer unless your driving very hard all the time. On normal driving i.e. sub May be a dodgy o2 sensor or something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Had this problem myself a month ago when I first got mine, previous owner left one of the sensors unplugged...! Still removed them and soaked in vinegar overnight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Get both your O2 sensors out and check them for carbon fouling. If there are any signs, soak them in some lemon juice overnight then reinstall (Do not clean them with water!). If problems persist, let us know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Check for any misfiring too - on the NA you can get vacuum leaks on the gasket inbetween the inlet manifold and throttle body. Check for exhaust joint leaks too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 so in theory would given your o2 sensors a clean improve mileage? obviously not massively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
