Update - Brim to brim test...
49.77 + 14.51 litres = 64.28 L = 14.16 Gallons (had to put a bit in between pay days!) Mileage = 581 MPG = 41.0 Thats with a filthy EGR, MAF unplugged, soft front tyres (slow puncture LHS, Aluminium dust cap stuck on RHS) and mostly 5-10 mile journeys and a couple of 35 mile runs. I think 45mpg + is possible with decent tyres, MAF, EGR bypass and maybe a 160 remap ;-) |
