wheres my fuel

[e30beast]

i fill the tank with 50 notes and only get 230 miles now thats not right new afm coolant sensor ecu anything else?

Take your lead boots off.

[e30beast]

no way squire i drive it like an old man feather boot he he

andys point may sound stupid but that seriously is proably the answer

i was recently getting 180 miles out of 30 quid. i replaced AFM, temp sensor, a lot of fuel lines and checked tyre pressures baically every day and still no change

i strated to use the economy gauge more. i do still floor it but when you are crusing if you aim for 2600 revs in fourth or fifth you can easily get 50 mpg, and on strethes of long road if u have an OBC watch the miles in your tank rise

i stil only manage abouit 210 out of 30 wuid but it definatly helps to be more gentle. remmeber the more u put ur foot fdown the more fuel u use, so jus be easy on the poor thing

unless its wet

Apart from making sure the engine is in fine fettle and not been messed about with I can't think of anything else, are your brakes binding at all.

My 2.7 will do 35mpg (actual not OBC readout) if I take the bones out of my right foot seriously though it can do 35 if I stick to the speed limits and accelerate gently, it's hard to do though

[e30beast]

im not saying that i dont floor it for the fun of it!! i dont. it's an auto and it gets driven carefully and to the speed limits and i watch the econ guage so it's not lead foot syndrome.

[Dan318-is]

hmmm

maybe you need to get replcacing the usual suspects then like AFM and sensors

also throttle position sensor often gets forgotten

have u had the car on an emissions tester to see what the output is?

any modifications we hsould know about>

[e30beast]

as all ready said afm,coolant sensor and ecu all changed.and switch set up

[JOSEMI]

Mine also burns lots of fuel, but noted that the reason is a packed boot and the need for oil change... maybe is time for your oil to be changed too...

[Dan318-is]

i deffo need an oil change too

noticed fuel prices lately also?

it does make a difference im afriad

[JOSEMI]

they are getting greedy around here... Imagine leaving in the land of the 30p/litre (i.e. USA) and putting a tener in every now and then... (sigh)

e30beast,

I moved your first thread about your wheels for sale into the correct area (Parts for Sale). I then locked your 2nd thread about them, as I had already pointed out to you why they were moved in the first place.

Since then I've had to delete 3 more of the exact same threads in General Chat about your wheels, I have issued you your first warning by PM. Please take note of this.
