I'm getting 150miles out of a full tank of juice. running 330 bhp on greens in my esc cos? And i have checked for leaks before anyone asks. Doe's this sound a bit much and what could be the problem?

 

Heavy right foot?

 

i get about 160miles to a tank in mine and i'm running light blues.

 

i put Ł40 in and have done 160miles and still got qtr tank! and im on Greys running 400bhp. I havent got close loop or anything either

U must have a prob or be flat out most of the time!

 

sounds about right mate, same as mine.

 

Sounds alright to me, I only get a max of 200 miles out of a tank of Optimax in my S3 and that's only chipped


Yeah you're not kidding

 

i get on average 260 to 280 miles from a tank on the work run, and on a long continuous run, it'll see about 340 to 360 miles for 1 tank

803 dark greens, 22psi and plenty of abuse

 

I just saw 170 miles out of a full tank on greens.

but around 80 miles was a steady 70-80 mph all the way.

Need to get my runaround around fixed asap!

 

I think i dont drive my car as hard as you lot then

 

by the look of your sig i would say you drive it like a muppet. no arm intended of course

 

mines stage 3 and i get 340 miles to a tank ! ! !

 

thats nearly 30mpg, youmust be sitting on a motorway at 70mph to get that figure. or your turbo has fell off lol

 

yeah thats on a run but i pretty much break 300 miles to tank if you dont drive like a loon.

 

350 miles for me on average if we are talking motorways, but only 220 if all done on the 20mph stop start school run in heavy traffic every day

 

ok dene what chip you running and sean what chip you running

 

I never thought I'd say this, but I miss my cossie - I used to get 2560 miles out of a tank on greens (road use).

I get about 130 out of the MR2

 

2560 fuck me rich were you towing an extra tank behind you?

 

This is one of my pet hates - so many miles to a tank...

There are so many things that can be different - how much was left in the tank when you filled it up? It will never be the same as how much was in there when someone else filled it up - you can't compare!

Here's what you do:

fill the car up until the pump clicks off.
Reset the clock
Drive round until you've used as much fuel as you want to
Fill up again, until it clicks off. Write down how much fuel you've just put in.

work out how many miles per gallon you've done - this you can compare.

miles done divided by no of litres used, then multiply by 4.54

I get about 20mpg round town, and 30-35 on a motorway run.

 

my car has a A1 Rallysport big turbo conversion, with 3 bar, 18.5 psi coz im only running a standard intercooler! 803's. the chip is A1 own chip.

 

Mines greens BTW

 

Oops - make that 250

 

mines running ggr 335 for now. 24 psi. on greens.

 

sapph 4x4 stage 3

Drove back from Stus's (MSD) place last week to aberdeen (300 miles).
Used a full tank exactly and would say my average speed was 90/95 mph so was pleased with that

 

Mines motorsport developments. Sean whats yours?

 

I'm running 26 psi with standard intercooler

 

I used to get about 22-25 MPG on a run (bit of motorway bit of country roads)

 

@ steve :- maybe we are not exactly working it out but f**k me theres a big difference between 150 miles out of tank and 300miles!

 

I must add that Adam drives like a pensioner!!!
opps watch that bump,oh no stonechips,it looks like rain Iam off home

 

lol's at justin

 

Adam,
Get her on a CO machine to analyse the emissions, expect <1.5% but nominally around 0.4.
All my P8 software is closed loop and i would hazzard a guess that your lambda sensor is outputting a constant lean trigger voltage and she is running around 10% at all times.

If this is teh case, you will need to perform a P8 reset after the sensor is renewed, you may be best to call me for details on how to do this.

Most P8 owners on 803s T34 report around 25 - 30mpg taking it easy with my software, you have a definate fault there unless your tanks are all used at silverstone...roflol

 

Post edited by stu to fix all confusion with quotes.....

 

 

Not a Cossie I know but it scares me how quick the fuel guage drops when driving hard. It's like it's connected to rev counter. As one rises the other drops

 

About the same as Graceland...

 

i get about 80 miles then have to fill up

 

Mostly run 650bhp & driving fast i get about 16mpg thats about 190miles from a tank. If i take it very easy on low boost have got 21mpg so 250miles to the tank.
Rod

 

you'd think it would eat fuel ! ! !

 

When cruising, a well mapped engine will consume 15 x more air than fuel

When going hard, this drops to around 11x more air than fuel.

Most of your horsepower comes from the consumption of oxygen, not fuel, in a laymans sort of way......

Rods is obviously well mapped.. ive seen Stage 3 Escort Cossies doing less than 10mpg at 40mph in 5th, with no faults

 

I must have 700 odd bhp so and didn't even know it! Now where that fucker in his enzo

 

Well done mr M.A developments
