[darryl]

19 post y didnt u say that earlier:nenau has he checked fuel pipes around rearwheel arch they rust and my be leaking diesel

hi he knows the crack with fuel economy he does do brim 2brim and thats what hes getting :thumb2 thanks darryl

Well if he's only getting 15ish to the gallon he must be pouring it on the road
OR has absolutely no idea how to do sums :lol
That's an unbelievably low mpg
So as said above there must be some serious leakage going on. I can't think of any other problem that would get such aweful mpg figures and still have an engine running sweet :nenau
Mine is modded out to the max (ish) run 35" tyres , bigger turbo and driven like it's nicked and I still get 25 :thumbs

what pete says, mines on 33's and my foot is over weight and i still average about 30mpg

200miles on £35 thats almost 36mpg hard to think ur mav is doing that well seams i get 32mpg at a push and most others get round 30-31mpg top did u neck the fuel tank when doing this millage as u can not go by the fuel gauge

I got about 33 mpg from my 2.7 on a 350 mile run, I worked it out by necking the tank before and after and put in 48 litres after the 350 mile run.

Runway Enduro all round, I serviced it today as I only picked it up from manchester on sunday and the oil was black and the fuel and air filter wern't much better, so I added a tin of Wurth diesel additive straight in the fuel filter before I put it on, hopefully it will be better on fuel now :lol

what tyre pattern is that i think its road tyres isnt:nenau

 

[Terrano]

Yeah they are just ordinary road tyres, I don't intend using it for much off roading, more for towing on road.
