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?

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?

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..

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.

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.

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.
