Turbo fuel consumption

[Kieron]

Sideskirts, and bumpers combination was first done by Jayse Croft at mtte.com ages ago on his black car. I have some pics somewhere of that combo on a black 2 - looked really nice.

Rear spoiler I spotted in 2000 on an American site, always loved it - not sure now! Might go Rev 5 at some point......

Thanks for the kind words though!

i get 210-280 miles to 40 litres (fuel light) depending on how i drive with optimax, less on super which is weird

[Chris \'aka rustboy\' Amm]

last time i worked it out i got 22mpg when i first got it but on average i get about 25-26mpg with a mix off boosting it about and crusing.

when i went to stevenage to see dan and get my alarm done i managed 30mpg.

they can be quite thirsty but most turbo cars are, think it's cause of the over fueling by the ECU and the compression ratio that does it. i think scoobs get quite rubbish eco.
but i didn't by my turbo to eco drive

annoyed that mark edwards gets good eco with 300bhp

I usually average 24-25 miles to the gallon.Doesn't seem to be too far away from the norm on here.

[Morphius_MR2]

Im getting about 180 miles to a full tank of optimax, 275bhp, 1.1bar boost, a mixture of cruising and flooring it!
Time to get the Unichip remapped me-thinks, seems to be less then most people!

I'm horrified at the low fuel consumption,
I'm getting my turbo changed to run on diesel!!

[GlennMR2]

my n/a does about 20/21 mpg......................all town driving tho

[pecky]

i get about 225mile to a tank on my turbo so thats not to bad as thats a mix of driving (normal & hard)

I got 410 km outta my car doing a long trip this weekend....thats about 255 miles odd. Works out about 24/25 MPG which IS POOR
but seems normal amongst my peers!

I get around 22/23 from mine (1.2 bar). I have noticed that if I use it for commuting (try not to) it can go to about 20mpg. It seems the frequent warm-up cycles are the real killer. Most journeys I do are 15 miles or less through fairly populated areas so can't expect great economy really.

On a trip of any kind the consumption improves dramatically - over 30mpg on the motorway unless I'm boosting all the time (fun but highly illegal ).

27mpg on my old rev 1 tubby. Mostly if not all off boost driving. On boost, forget about it!!

My rev 3 tubby is better.

28mpg - Driving miss daisy

11mpg - Driving like I stole it

[gw_mr2gtt]

From full I get anywhere between 220 and 280 till the light comes on

Yeah I notice that the real killer is accelerating....like when your on an A-Road such as the A1 and you have to go through a series of roundabouts perhaps.....where your slowing down and building up speed to 70mph once more!

I get about 100 smiles per gallon so I'm ok
