I got your PM mate, I'm chewing on it!!
Although to be honest, in terms of my own car, I'd rather stick with a 4 pot, on the basis that I'm poor and that I'd rather have an SGI gas kit than an SPI one.
Good point, underpowered as they are. Good on MPG. Was comparing it against the Senator on the way back to uni, reset the mpg leaving home, went via a m8's and on to uni, set cruise at 70 , averaged 37.9
That other car would be ripe for breaking
I think yours has LPG already Tunnie - 37.9 at 70 - I get 31/32 if I'm lucky
Way way way way too low on a run for a 4 pot.
I know! And thats on Shell Optimax MAF was faulty and replaced but MPG not changed, fitted new fuel filter, cleaned out breathers,tyres 30 PSI all round.... any suggestions :-/
a v6?
I meant helpful suggestions
Reset the fuel comp when you leave home, do a motorway run....
I put the fuel comp to instant readout on the motorway, on a flat stretch of the M40 i easily see 40 mpg on the instant readout @ 70, even at 80 with the cruise on a flat stretch it will still read 38...
Many times I have reset the gauge leaving home which is Brackley, then a 15 mile country run (pulling out on T junctions) to a village called Chacombe, then its a 65 mile ish blast down the M40 and I go down the M4 into Hayes.
On a run like that I quite easily get mid 30's on a run... but as soon as i start doing town runs it falls dramatically, into low 30's high 20's...
Lowest ever i have seen on the average reading is 28 from lots of runs to a local town.
