Hi again
only getting low very low 20s to gal and this is driving it properly, light footed to moderate footed. looked at chiping from dragan sport, surpose to increes bhp 30% +torque and upto 10% fuel.
could do with help on this one as kit is £300. Not overley worried about £300 for extra power, but i don't want to *beep* things up. Keep hearing people saying i get 25 -30 out of mine.
I do hunt it when needed and tow 2-3 tons. but ive done several £40 worth of fuel, drove it steady clocked miles worked it out.
Checked things like tyre pressure, are brakes on. |

I assume it is a Auto ! I think there is a technique to driving an auto, if
my wife drives she gets about 17/18 and If I drive it I can get about 29Mpg
Hell of a diffrence !

keep air conditioning off that uses fuel as the revs are higher uses loads of fuel also it depends how much you use the right foot and the tip is light pressure on the pedal and take it slowly to warm up the engine to obtain maximum fuel saving ..or so i hear .. but again if you tow 2-3 tons what can you expect .. that's double the weight of a solo journey .. so you could hope for 40 to the gallon .. hahahaha .. lucky if you get 28 -30 on a run at 56mph cruise control on ...towing expect 22mpg on motorways even if it seems it aint there on the back .. _________________ 1999 Amazon Auto VX 4.2 TD Active |
