Default 16 m.p.g on green's.......

Could this fuel consumption be right????
This is driving back and too to work etc,giving it a bit the odd time

Co is at 3% at idle.Feels shit off boost,as if hesitating/holding back.Goes well as soon as on boost.Is this because it's low-comp with uprated cam's??

Car is low-comp,BD10's,big valve gas flowed head,lightened and balanced etc,T34.63,holding 23 psi,2wd saph.

Going to get it checked by a pro soon,just wondered if this consumption could be right?

Cheers

Have checked resistances on all ECU earths etc,fitted new temp sensor

Is Ultrasonic injector cleaning/reconditioning worthwhile?

Well....check plug colour.....if you really are getting 16mpg they will be black i'd have thought!

Of course 16mpg is probably ok if your thrashing its tits off...lol.
