I have a 99 UK wagon and get about 20 - 25 depending on how i drive, it all depends on what mods you have on it i suppose.

18 seems a touch low, but if your a quick driver you wont see much more than 22-24. sunday driver should see 26-28

A Dumpvalve could be causing overfuelling. Does it have one on?

18 is not so bad. I can get it down to around 4mpg

At the same time, i normally average 270 miles for 50l of VPower.

Is it modified at all? Mine is running rich and 18mpg is quite believable. Alot less when you plant the right foot of course.

No dump valve, as far as I know there is only a new stainless exhaust. Talking about dump valves though where's the best place to get one and what type would you recommend?

much appreciated....
