AJ Escos

not as much as buying petrol!!!! Why tea?
Cheers mate

AJ Escos

it was just a joke when this topic came up once b4 m8, between every other line was a line sayin' have a cuppa, thought you may not get it so edited it m8 sorry

Firestarter

ok, off to bed now after a few good beers to ponder spending Ł600 to save me Ł800 a year in petrol!

AJ Escos

from what people have said about mapping m8 it will improve your car in more ways than just fuel consumption like POWER (always good to have more) and driveability

Firestarter

off to see Stu at Motorsports Developments tomorrow (Tuesday), the thirsty bitch has got a cancelled appointment slot! He recons it may be a failed sensor...... we'll see, these visits usually cost me more than I expect!

Let ya know how I get on mate.

bigpower

I just fill it up and have fun!!!

No point having a cossie and worrying about fuel!

EscRSCos

i covered 210 miles on the weekend of constant driving on the motorway at around 80 90 mph. and i did three quarters of a tank got home with a quarter of a tank. not bad considering its stage 3 with light blues

Dave Henshall

nowt compares to my evo 6 though std injectors (admitadly they are 560cc) witht eh ralliart ecu, i was getting just over 100 miles to a tank full if on full welly mode - but with a poxy 50litre tank im not surprised.

cossie craig

mine does about 200miles on full tank on greys

Firestarter

Well it didn't need mapping..................
just a new inlet gasket, chip & plugs!

Jeez it goes like fook now AND it's looking like it will do a few more mpg..... now that's what I call a good Ł400 spent, cheers Kenny at Motorsports Developments!

red october

how did it work matey ? & grafx are on their way,

Firestarter

alrighty Mr Red Octoberus.................... well I managed to get 20 more miles to the first tankful, but I was booting it as you may guess! Hopefully get a few more when I calm down a bit! Not bad considering how much better it goes

Got the grafix, cheers mate, can't wait to get it bloody finished (the ones I first put on are starting to peel!!!!-only jokin hahaha !)

Cossie-Iain

I get around 220miles to a tank full of optimax and mines a stage 3.

Firestarter

well, it's averaging 180 miles to a tank, 14mpg, I was hoping to reach the magical 200 mark........................ never mind!

EscRSCos

running T4 plus 8 803 dark greens if driven hard using all 8 i get about 110 miles to a tank, but then it is pushing out 527bhp!

Rob_ECossie

Mines stage 3 on greens and T34 and I get 145 miles to a 45 quid tank of super. Get some nice flames tho due to the overfuelling!

Could probably do with a remap and change of injectors to greys once I get my new cooler, head gasket and hoses shoved on! See if I can't squease a few more MPG out of it.

I averaged about 13litres to 100km the last weekend.
Not too bad I think.
No idea what this is in mpg though.

c0ss1e9i6

Speedy g you are nailing most people for economy (if my calculations are correct), light footed belgian perhaps?

Well i must be lucky bloke!

At 95mph (at least, all the way!) on my usual weekly haul to the midlands and back i return 260 miles to the tank!!!!

Dark greens, 1.7 bar, stage 3(ish) chip, etc etc.

Bought the car off of the owner of RGS Motorsport, so fek nose how he set that up!!!

And I always with optimax!!!!

Light footed??? Don't think so m8.
Do you know what size shoes I have to get??? Size 14,5 !!!

I bought the car on 14-04-01 and since that date upto my last refill 1day ago I've done 17578,8km (10922,96miles) and used about 2610,02litres (574,12gallon) of fuel in the beast.
This means that I averaged 14,85litres to 100km or 19mpg. Not too bad I think with a stage 3 Esc Cos.

paul es cos

If i put 45squid in i get over 250miles , well happy with that

hybrid t3

Not bothered.As long as it's set up right and goes well, it's "Smiles per gallon" that counts!

K3V HA

This might sound daft Stu, but forgive me cos im not really up to speed on cossie engines yet, but would the closed loop thing be a good idea andwork on a virtually standard es cos? BigTurbo or Small turbo??

c0ss1e9i6

Sounds fantastic, but i'm too lazy to read it all and i didn't find who fits it/ how much it costs/wether it can fek my engine!

Could you let me know!

TA!!!!

(oh, and can i stick it on the T5 as well!!!!)

MIbluEscos

I'm averaging 21mpg with a Superchip and Mongoose exhaust at this time. But this set-up will be changing these spring

My daily drive to work consists of 15 miles of back roads (35-40mph speed limits) and 15 miles of 75-80mph highway driving.
