..I was just curious to know what kind of fuel consumption you get from a rev 3 turbo? How much does a full tank cost? How many miles does it give? How many mpgs do you get in town, on motorway, combined? Do mods make a serious difference in mpg?#1 a bit further down the listing: http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23445#2 and #3: I don't know what I get separately, but I average about 1 liter per 9.5 kilometers (about 22 mpg). I don't have many mods, but the ones I do have didn't make a lot of difference (MBC @ 14.5 psi, KO downpipe, fuelcut defense, ceramic instead of steel CT26 (US car)).(I do) and don't boost all over town (I don't), it won't make that big a difference. Got an induction kit, decat and Blitz Access ECU.(despite a 50bhp increase). 30-ish is quite feasible on the motorway, especially if you drive at vaguely legal speeds 
.(town and motorway) thats with hks ind kit and tanabe exhaust . i wouldnt expect anymore for such a powerful car. 
Been getting through about £50 a week easily (around 300 miles).DaveyC wrote:the best i can get is 27mpg and thats driving like a complete granny
with foot to the floor you can use a tenner in 10 mins

(still have 15 litres left after the light comes on) mostly motorway/a roads 
- 290miles out of a tankful though.Kiran wrote:Hi guys.

Depends how much you can get into the tank. I never ran mine dry - about 40 litres usually. MPG - Well, if you're worried about MPG, a high performance car isn't your thing 
Seriously though, compaired to other high BHP cars, the 3S-GTE in the Turbos is very frugal. : ~ 22-24: ~24 mpg (mix of town and dual carridgeway): ~27mpg: ~30-32mpg Mods such as lowering the compression ratio will reduce the efficency of the engine (say ~2mpg less than the above) - but bizarrely tuning the car using (eg) a Unichip will improve the efficency as the engine runs less rich under load.Mark Edwards wrote:Just to wind everyone up then.
On a run have managed 37mpg.
Usually get around 270
/ toy car so when i do use it i use it to its full - most of my tanks get about 170 - 190. Ive got a Focus TDCi for all that granny driving!jim wrote:Mark Edwards wrote:Just to wind everyone up then.

I knew a guy with a Marcos Mantara who used to get the same, but that was because it broke down so often it spent half of the time being towed.
Seriously though, what have you done to manage that?
very well mapped motec. That's 45.76 litres for 428km. 
(trackday)£49 worth of Shell Optimax got me 110miles
