Lean or rich (mpg)
 

I get on average 240/250 to a tank running about 120miles daily round trip up the a3.
thats from a full tank of optimax (about £40).
I also get an inch thick rim of soot around the exhaust silencer.

for a (99) car that supposedly reads fuel and adjusts how can the varying mpg's be so wildly different?
(comparison is a sti4 typeR with a smaller tank getting about 40 miles a tank more than me :()

Im expecting around 250 at the mo with my98 terzo with PPP. cost me £43 to top it up though, soot ont he exhaust indicates overfueling and I wouldnt expect it to have been. with 120miles round trip Id expect u to get more Mpg from the car.

my car is full decat with boost up to 1.15 bar.
maybe that squeezes it a bit?

RE:the sooty pipe, Im thinking of sending a small boy up there with a set of brushes...

not interested what you get up to in ya personal time mate ;) :eek:

Andy..

i get roughly the same from my n/a wagon... approx 23 miles one way...

260-280 ish.... 300 if im under the empty and have a can in the boot...

if my memory serves me correctly... isnt your rout a lot of stop starts!!!!

best way to check your mix,,, a good 5-10 mile run at mway speed...

pull over and whip out a plug... look at the colour and use that as a guide..

should be a light brown with a few deposits..

Andy i've got a small boy you can have for £2.50 an hour :D.My type r gets about 300-320 miles to a full tank :D

do you drive if 5th gear all the time?

My 5th gear is like second so theres no need to choose any other gear :D and i dont drive it at 30 mph everywhere either

STi4 type R has the same size tank as you

My mpg will no doubt go down drastically in late summer as im off to see Bob for a nice new Link ecu :D

Not sure what I get to a tank, but I average about 23 mpg.

02 Wagon JDM on optimax. Fairly conservative driving - with the occasional thrash :)
