REALLY USING FUEL
 

Now i know scooys use fuel i am not doughting this but i put £30 and have probe not done 100miles in it, what can cause this problem ppl

No smart jokes like heavy foot, ragging the **** out of it etc :nono:

£30 to 100miles sounds normal in this weather/with it being used daily, stop and start etc,.. as a rule i normally get 35miles to £10 when driving it as a daily driver.

i get more when on motorway journeys or when i just go out on a continuous drive with no switch offs. normally around 42 miles local continuous and 48ish to £10 on motorway drives.

note. i dont have a lambda sensor lol so should be worse than a lot of people.

Hi Neil no CEL(Check engine light)?If no can you check lambda sensor,if is in good shape
I have similar problem with mine and mine lambda sensor has been knackered(180 miles on full tank) and after replacing lambda sensor i've get around 330miles from full tank.

How can I test this ?

I did get a cel light a few weeks ago on the motorway but nothing since.

Could have been a sign of something on the way out! You can check if there are any fault codes on the ecu. There are 2 connectors under the dash connect them and turn on the ignition watch how many times the cel light flashes. Those flashes correspond to codes.

That's just a rough guide by what I have read on other post. So hope that my info is right and it helps.

Just found this maybe it will help or something on the site will.

Doug

that site states only for the classics fella not newage

Sorry mate thought it might help.

Good luck

£30 for 100 miles is about what I get, I have a new lambda sensor fitted so it better not be down to that lol, Its always been the same so must just be what it does.

must be then,

£30 for a 100 miles is what i get too

^^Me to,wouldn't expect any more than that really unless really nanny goating the old girl along:D

and what with the rise in petrol prices u are getting less fuel for your money

all very true points

I am using 23.92 litres of fuel in 100 miles (about 19mpg)

£1.29 ish per litre = £30.86

Right on the money I would say.

Agreed, nothing more than that to be had, particularly in the cold......Jura...330 miles from a tank??.....jesus!!!;....you sure you have a turbo? :P

Yes matey is turbo,now fitted VF34,STi pink injectors and running really great,this mileage we are get from mixed driving(70% motorway and 30% city driving)....
If you have any doubt,just visit any good tuner and this tuner will check AFR or if you have OBD cable you can check via RomRaider and other sw,i will recommend this at first...

100 miles to £30 is bang on the money for your everyday driver or about town Id say motor way may see 115 -120 in mine. I put £20 in on sat and got 65 miles out of that so Id say no issues to worry about. £1.30 lt of v power means weve lost near 2lts for evey £20 you put in and that does add up I used to get 75 out of £20 not so long ago !! Petrol prices are gona be £2 lt by this time next yr if prices keep rising as they have done overr last 8 months.

Assuming you put V-Power (or any other SUL 97+), then you're talking around £1.27 ave. odd per litre.

£30.00 divided by 1.27 = 23.6 litres.

23.6 divided by 4.546 = 5.2 gallons.

100m divided by 5.2 = 19.2mpg.

As said, prob. normal in this stop/start season/cold start ups i.e. more than average fuel cons.

Im curious about this, the problem is I dont know what these two connectors are or look like. How do you connect? Is this for a newage?

Just for a small second I thought there might be hope that my car was using too much fuel and there was a solution. Turns out I'm getting good mileage compared to some. I filled up last week and got 270 miles out of it (with motorway driving).

i get around 35 around town 40-45ish on a long haul in my 93 wrx with a mix of fast and normal driving on tesco 99

LPG, solar panels, engine swap with a Honda Civic diesel?

+1

I feel our green fingered (fumb - geddit?) friend is living in cloud cuckoo land. :cuckoo:

the consumption does sound right but how you drive makes a huge difference. I once did hull to didcot on 2/3rds of a tank and used 1 1/2 tanks for the return journey.

My mistake not per gallon lol i meant out of £10 worth of tesco 99 fuel, i use £40 a week of that to and from work etc all in all around 150 miles a week and just got to clacton (65-70 miles) on £15 of crappy esso 97 @ 134.9 per litre driving normaly 77mph officer

That's more like it. ;)

Yeah 150m from £40 of Tesco 99 (@ PetrolPrices.com today's ave. of c.137.1p) equates to about 23mpg - about the norm for mixed urban/suburban driving...

:lol1:

so you dont live in a land full of cuckoos

...In a cloud.
