Fuel Mileage
« on: October 23, 2009, 12:58:33 pm »
One of the things I really like about this site is the variaty of cars/engines/tunes etc. One thing we don't really have is an ongoing fuel economy thread. List your setup & list your averages!

1991 2wd Vanagon with 2" lift
225/65/17
AAZ - stock K03 - Rover Pin
350xxxkm

8.8 liters / 100km average mixed city & highway (I have a heavy foot) (26 mpg)
600km / tank (was 450km as a gasser)

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

I trust you. I just happened to remember that BlackTieTD started it, that's the only reason I found it.
