Are they all horrendous on fuel or just mine lol i know the price of fuel dont help but fook me

£65 to fill it which was 50 litres done 175 mile and its gone, ive had cossies for years my last one was decent power on t4 etc and the focus makes it seem like a diesel in comparison

Whats other folks like?

 

I think yours needs looking at asap

 

Mine was fine.

 

It does have 450hp

Try not to press the pedal on the right so hard and it might be a bit better !

 

Yours is big power though lol

What mods has it got?

 

Mate thats driving it steady lol no point trying to put ya foot down in this weather

Think ill send mark at ma developments a pm as its only recently been mapped by him

 

doesn't sound right that.

175 miles for 50 litres (11 gallons) thats 15 miles per gallon!!!

You've either got a very heavy right foot, or something is amis.

is your car running OK generally?

 

There is pics and spec list in picture gallery mate

 

It runs perfect mate i just presume thats how its been mapped for some reason.

 

Funilly enough, I was asking about the Superchips Bluefin remap for the 1.6 Focus.

another user had it done, didn't notice much difference power wise, but the car drank fuel like a fish once remap had been installed lol

I think you're right, best check the remap!!

 

my old one was never that bad atall, but it wasnt 450bhp like its commented above that yours is.

im guessing yours is the one thats on the GT28 and Vipec that Mark mentioned in convo with myself a little while back.
wasnt it 430bhp, or around that figure?

 

Lee, mine used to run 20 mpg all the time, that was "only" 273bhp.

 

Mine does 270 mile to a tank of optimax with mixed driving

 

yours is pretty frugal compared to mine!!!lol 570hp zetec turbo,8 inj setup,
on full chat about 5m.p.g

cheers paul

 

dnt yours have 400brake tho mite have some thing do with it ,my mates has 300 and is better than my van on fuel

 

Difference is in the power output and your right foot, go easy on the pedal its as good as a 1.3 Fiesta

 

Mine is on gt29/30 well that's what the turbo receipt says? And autronic sm4 it made 438 before it went to mark and had new boost controller fitted and more boost then a mapp. I just thought with autronic it would of had closed loop of some sorts to give better economy lol how wrong was i haha

 

Ps kelv you got the rl7s fitted yet? Want some pics if so

 

Id say its a bit over the top mate but for some reason in this weather most turbo cars are even worse on fuel than normal ..

I work that out to be a tad over 16 mpg if your figs are correct and your speedo is correct??
With 440 hp and this weather 20 mpg would be good so not a million miles of..


cheers danny

 

im just waiting to see what my mrs says im pretty sure mine did well over 200+ to a tank at 411BHP.

 

Kelv it's Bellys old car on Autronic....


Mine does anything between 20-30mpg dependent on driving style, only does 30 on a really good run when using no boost....lol



Steve

 

Kev Jones' mad Focus RS runs on RL7's....

 

Your car is running rc 750 injectors nearly flat out !
Ported head , etc etc
Never was any good on fuel..
But went like fook

 

I suppose I've got that to look forward to when the weather gets better haha

oh can you do me a favour and ask Colin what the little red button and the 2 black ones are for on the steering cowl? I dare'nt touch em lol

 

Think them buttons are something to do with the alarm m8 !
Will ask col .. Just wait till weather drys up and you can belt it !! Your going to upset a few people ... Lol

 

ive noticed that on mine too. its all to do with the cold engine start up and warm up fuel mapping putting in more fuel the colder the engine is.

Even on medium length journeys, with the temps outside lately being sub -2 all the time even on a 4 or 5 mile journey the engine is nowhere near normal operating temp unless you leave the heater off.

so no wonder more fuel is used.

 

mine does around 250 miles on a full tank,
but thats country road driving and town. so on a run it should do 300 i think.
(standard car apart from dreamscience)

 

Drive slower Mrs

My mildly modded FRS did minimum 250 miles, usually 270 and up to 330 miles on a run!

 

Thats about what mine did when it only had a Bluefin, as soon as the tubular manifold went on the MPG got considerably worse, once the hybrid was on it was dreadful. I'm lucky if i get near 200 miles from a tank.

 

I had one for 3 days, cost me £30 in fuel. 25mpg at best and it was standard.....

Have you sold PDD then??

 

Excellent spec car mate, remember when it was in the mag

That Focus Rs on RL7s looks mint

 

yeah mate the cossie went in the deal with focus

 

Bloody hell thats just shit on fuel.Get it sold and buy another cossie lol.

 

dont think id have another saff now glenn after the focus just sooooo much nicer to drive etc

 

You don't have a leak do you? (Serious question)

Martin

 

lee just selt v8 bmw x5 it was the same swap for 55 plate passat sport tdi 48 mpg thats what you want and buy a cossie for weekends to kill like me
did you have a good chirstmas

 

mines shocking at the minute!!

 

yeah phil had a good christmas mate, we have the vectra diesel lol

if i dont see you before have a good wedding and ill see you at the night doo

 

The cost of super unleaded probably makes the whole mpg look a lot worse than it actually is to be totally honest...never found any Focus RS as bad as a Cossie.
