Default Fuel consumption on a stage 3 cos

What sort of miles to peeps get from a stage 3 cos? I dont think mine is very good i am getting about 90 miles per £15 of fuel is that average? That is from the 1/2 mark down to the 1/4 mark on the gauge. I know its how you drive them as well but that is with normal driving.

Used to get on average, 300 miles to a tank out of mine, and then 340 upwards on a nice sedate motorway run

To give you some idea of a spirited drive, 3/4 tank got me from my house, to hull, and then from rotterdam to the ring in april, speeds of 100+ were commonplace

Thats with Stu's closed loop software too

I would say that isnt too bad. taking your figures into account you are getting roughly 360 miles to a full tank. Better than most

i wouldnt be complaining if i got that on a stage 3 to be honest. fuel is about £4.50/£4.60 a gallon for good stuff so it works out at 28 mpg

think 300 to a tank is average


when i FIRST got my cossie i used to get 15 miles to a tenner


also DONT take closed loop conversions into consideration UNLESS you also have that otherwise you may as well compare the fuel consumption harrier jump jet and discover yours aint the same as that either

try driving a fooking ford ranger diesel, that does 250 miles to a tank but costs 70 quid to fill , use that for 3 weeks as a delivery van covering 200 miles a day and you will understand what " feels like im always filling up" really is
