  1. Something came to my notice today, in NZ we are generally driving in hilly terrain, in fact the X6T has to on its first run climb a fairly steep hill for a least a Km before getting on the flat I reset the fuel computer today from some flat terrain and was I estimate about 2L/100km better off so round town on the plains somewhere would look a lot better I'm guessing
  2. Thanks for the Link, do you think its worth getting these even if your engine warning light is not coming on (not sure if the deteriorate but still show up ok ? )
  3. Excellent advice but will admit to only doing one thing so far, changing from 91 to 95 fuel this has reduced a round town fuel consumption from 18.9 to 17.3 so not necessarily saving much money but obviously engine is happier, still contemplating chip but we will see as have sort of got used to it guzzling fuel now as it goes so well who cares. My mates late model V8 SS Late model Comodore is worse and doubt he's got anymore tongue on demand than true blue has
  4. Will take your advice (pointless asking if you don't) The guys at Mag & turbo reckoned it was normal consumption though ?, I really need to hook it up to a machine somewhere to check all that out. As much as anythings its going to be fun tinkering and BTW its my wife that does 19 around town I think I would be at about 18 I think you might be more of a hoon than me lol, but it makes sense
  5. Well at least I know there is nothing wrong with it but was hoping for some magic elixir of fuel saving as some of the guys seem to get crazy low readings, man how are they driving their 3- 400 hp weapons ? Time for mods, would run with that though as found someone in NZ offering another 55hp (40kw) for a plug in $1200, as if I really need it, but if it would improve mpg that would be all the excuse needed
  6. Hi guys just so I don't have to read 50 pages and summarize them Is our 12.5 highway 19 in the city (city av speed 27kph so slow stuff) ok for a BA/T (4 speed Auto and best I know stock) moderate driving but enjoying the occasional shove of grunt (the thing spools up so quick its hard not too) I ran 98 for the highway but have been using 91 around town (manual says I can) I am going to put 98 or 95 back in next fill and see if it is more cost effective, car has had new plugs recently and the previous owner averaged 15.9 mixed running on 95 I will reset as above once the 95 or 98 is running through it vains again but have you guys any other thoughts or is this all ok Thanks and BTW these Turbo things are cool (really impressive instant power) and worth the extra running cost over our old 2L run about but just thought I should get her running as efficiently as possible
  7. Bit of a Big bump but was wondering if this is correct. My Wifes BA XRT is getting about 19/100 around town and about 12.5 on the open road
