Been out to see a mate today and took him for a spin out in the car so obviously had to give it the beans for him, but i had set my trip when i put the £20 in for the 100mile round trip.
Now i didnt expect it to make it but!!!
It did :yes
So im now thinking my worries about it running rich are probably bollox then?

Yeah, i would get an a/f meter and check that too, i\'m running a stock car and if i boot it i get about half that mileage on 20 quid.... I get about 20 to 25 if i stay under 3k most of the time, but where\'s the fun in that lol:rollin
20-25 :eek
i get 10-16. :yes
dont know what im nodding about though
Because thats what your fuel gauge does? :Thumbs-up
to be fair on the motorway there and back i sat in top at 70-80 all the way.
it was only a 5 min spin
Lol, it didn\'t read like that you were on a motorway, and how did you do 100 miles in a 5 min spin?? :eek:
I sat on the motorway for about 45miles,met my mate went for a drive out for say 10 miles, dropped him off then a 45mile journey home.
hmmm dont you find you can sit at 60-70 for ages and the fuel gauge keeps still....then you put for foot down for a few twistys then the needle drops like a stone!?
hehe but I love it :)
I managed southampton to birmingham, bone stock car at the time on £30. Average speed of 80mph, but upto 140mph :Laugh
I find it stays at 1/2 way for ages but then all of a sudden it\'ll just go down to a quarter and then seems to drop rapidly mile by mile lol, i reckon i get an average of 250 to 300 miles on a full tank, of mixed town and motorway miles (cruise control is so much less thirsty than the foot lol

That mpg is realistic, but you cant measure it on what the gauge says. You must fill up, drive, and fill up again to measure it.
