since getting the full scoobysport exhaust, my mpg has gone up! Anyone care to explain?

Hi Fosters,
can't really give you the answer but the same happened to me, increased mileage after upgrading the exhaust to a decat 3-inch full system, seems too good to be true, power, music and MPG all at once http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif If I can resist the temptation to step on harder, that is. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/redface.gif By the way, with the OEM system i get a full thick blackish coat of carbon deposit over the muffler tips. With the new exhaust it's more grey than black and much thinner. Healthier looking i guess. So maybe running leaner accounts for the additional mileage? Roberto |
now wait a second, you mean "consumption" had gone up or the "MPG"?
|
I warned you at the outset......the answer is easy - you spend more time in the lower gears makin purty music with your right foot..... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Fuel consumption will improve when cat(s) are removed as the cats take up a fair bit of the engines energy. Therefore like for like consumption will improve. My weekly motorway commute figures improved by 3 or 4 mpg
DISCLAIMER - with more power leading to more temptation of the right foot, figures can go down as well as up http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif |
Sorry guys, misleading title! my mpg never got above 24 with a cat'd system, now it's 25. Although, now getting used to the noise level, so I should imagine it'll go down again!!!
