Fuel Economy, 1.8 compared the 2.5
-
No matter what I do now with mine best I get is 12 MPG or 120 to a tank, that dropped massively with the new exhaust headers and no cat plus the only speed on the motorway is flat out at 77mph :rofl:

Dunno whats up with it, since fully decatting and the 2 inch headers all round it plummeted, from 180 a tank to 120 plus it runs a little cold as I have taken the thermostat ot to try to keep the water in the system but that hasnt worked so I still have to refit it plus fit a second fan as it hates sitting in traffic so it thinks its still on cold so that dont help either hahaha
thats why it comes out at weekends lol
-
At that rate, it would come out on the 31st of feb each year.

LOL, it doesnt help that with the headers the exhaust makes such a sweet note and it now back fires on decelleration like a mizti evo turbo :rimshot:
-
Kinda liking the sound of that! :mrgreen:

My 1.8 does that with the MS exhaust, but that might be down to the 1/2 a swamp still in the cat.

You're running on cold enrichment all the time! The fuel injection needs 180F to run right. Put your thermostat back in!

Just for clarification: Are you using miles per 4.55 Liter Imperial gallon?
I drove my 1.8 for three years and averaged 22 mpg (American 3.79L/gallon) in mixed driving, 28mpg at a steady 80mph. My 2.5 millennia engine gets me about 20-21, in the same kind of mixed driving. EVERYONE who says you will be tempted to use the extra performance is completely correct. You will have a terrible time driving sanely!
Converting to liters/mile yields about 18 liters/100 miles. or 5.54 miles/liter.
