declined fuel economy


L4V15

Recommended Posts

Had a go @ this on my derv today, when I opened the airbox I was suprised @ how clogged the filter was. Only changed it 6months ago :surrender: so have given it a good clean aswell as the MAF & pumped up the tyres to the correct pressures. Maybe this will help a little, if not no real loss, unless the MAF packs up due to messing with it :scare:. My normal philosophy is if it aint broke don`t fix it

As others have mentioned, the cooler, denser air will make a difference, I don`t notice it in the zed, just fill her up when she gets low (about 250miles to a tank). But my derv is down about 8mpg since the outside temps have dropped. Only averaging 47mpg with my lead foot & 3ltr soot chucker

 

+1 with my Derv, i'm barely getting 40mpg at the moment :surrender:

 

:scare: how do you manage that David Hobbs?

 

He's not worked out how to change out of first gear yet. :wink:

 

Oh I know how to change out of first gear as it is USELESS :angry:
