wow! mpg

[simonalt1]

ive got a saxo pahse 2 vtr.

i got an ecotec valve for it about 3weeks ago.

ive been keepin track of my millage and filling, and ive worked it out to be
43.9MPG!!! (british gallon)

ive been driving normally, and the onli fuel saving ive done is coasting

i do 50miles motorway per tank (ish)

amazing...

i defo recomend the ecotec valve!

[Scott]

rofl load of rubbish. my vtr returned better than that standard.

coasting uses more fuel than slowing down through the gears

[Steve]

i get that driving normally and hammering it now and then mate (20 min sessions on the stage every few days ;))

Also if its a 98bhp vtr that is the standard mpg if drive it normally according to parkers.

[KamRacing]

unmetered air in your engine is not good for it

[badboyben88]

he got PWNED lol

[babers]

i get over that driving on the motorway in my vts

[PugDan]

Haha.

You been conned.

[Viper]

haha.

if you want good MPG, get a diesel, dont go more than 50mph, and slipstream lorries :y:

[Dan]

Noticed he hasnt replied lol think you all scared him off

[Viper]

haha

maybe he is re doing his calculations :p

[Tobs]

hes one of the lets make one post then never come back on the site again

[simonalt1]

eee, so its had no effect then, lame

i didnt keep track before i put it in

i didnt buy a vtr for fuel efficency, i got it cos its a rocket

i was just amazed at how good it is on fuel, even when ur nailing it every now and again

[Karl]

VTR a rocket?

[Clouds_mate]

I got 260 miles off half a tank going to germany, Check it ;)

[Barry123]

VTR's 5th gear is an overdrive which is bloody helpful in getting some impressive figures. nice one if you actually got that figure :)

[Clouds_mate]

i did :d ask baz and scott ;)

Granted, luke was leading the convoy doing 60 for most of the way. 5th gear from france all the way to germany. ;) and a bit of a trashing session on the Autobahn

[Ruddy]

So why do i get 54 miles on ten quid?

[Clouds_mate]

iv done 140ish miles since i last filled up and im still above half a tank lol

[Clouds_mate]

So why do i get 54 miles on ten quid?

they our more gears then first and second Rudickle

[Ruddy]

PROPA CAINAGE YOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no seriously i dont rag it at all. max speed ill go is about 45-50 for 10 secs ish! lol, I only went from the gym to home to work to home to gym to hannahs to work......... 54 miles? Work that one out......

[Karl]

LOL @ Ruddy,
wheelspinning doesnt save fuel contrary to what those that hang at McDonalds tell you ;)

[Barry123]

actually 43.mpg is shite... thought it said 53mpg (which is possible in a vtr too)

[al_VTR]

i get about 300-330 out of a tank on my 99 Mk1 VTR

In true Citroen styleeeee i get 200 out of the first "half tank" and then 100-130 out of the second "half tank"

[Clouds_mate]

do you leave the engine running when you go dogging?

Will be using fuel and not adding miles mate.

[Ruddy]

*N00b*

Does fannymould, big dirty airfilter, and egggs-hu-wast not help?

Sounds like you get similar to me Leckie.

I drove from Bradford - London and back again all on one tank of petrol, plus did another 70 mile once I got back - 477 miles in total.
