A full tank should see you 400 miles. Work back from that. Yours seems about right________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once. It said if you don't want to end up in here, stay away from crime, women and drugs. Trouble is, that don't leave you much else to do, does it? |

Yours seems about right 400!? most ive ever had was 280? nah, if you search on here (was a post recently iirc) then 280 is normal for fast driving. I used to get that but after longer journey i can see closer to 400 ________________________________________ 306 rallye, Richard Longman enginerc10gt |

More than likely your lambda sensor is faulty so the ecu runs at a pre-set air/fuel ratio which is quite rich instead of 14.7-1. Mileage from mine has never been great to be honest, on a motorway journey i usually average about 34mpg and around town combined driving with some heavy footed incidents  i usually average 27ish mpg. But saying that mine has a 2.5" straight through exhaust and k+n and its done 127k so cant expect miracles from it lol ________________________________________ Black power baby!

Since i have had my VTS i have averaged 31.5 adjusted MPG. |

Having only gone through 2 tank fulls so far I'm hardly an expert. But I've had 400+ miles out of both tank fuels, and my calculating website thingy (spritmonitor.de) says I'm getting 35mpg. happy with that! ________________________________________ CLUB BLACK RALLYE||B8s||60-70mm drop||Black Partner Steels||P1 VTS Rack||Refurbed Beam||Hybrid ARB||VTS Torsion Bar|| |
