I drive the car flat out all the time and it's still better on juice than when standard. Easily getting over 500 km per tank.Just had APS Phase II completed on Thursday night. The newer version with larger injectors - I think same now as Phase III.Anyway - do ALL of your trip meter functions still operate correctly I.e. distance 'till empty, avg fuel use? Some have said NO.EDIT: You could also refer here: http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18592Sorry, slightly O/T I know....but similar. With larger injectors, the indicated fuel consumption and km to empty will be incorrect, unless modified in the factory ecu (using, for example the CAPA Edit)As is, the factory ECU will indicate exceptional economy on your display, but actual consumption is much greater with the high flow injectors in PH2/3 apps.I have been running PH 2, with auto mods in a ute, and I drive like an old fart (most of the time). Was getting about 420~450 km to a tank around town ( >600 on highway cruise - Melb to Adelaide) but have noticed my fuel consumption has deteriorated significantlyin recent months.Lucky to get 350 km around town on a full tank. Performance is markedly down too, so it must be time for a retune..... methinks its running far too rich. Lots of tell tale liquid splatter on garage floor and roller door, with sooty black deposits.On another note, MrPulsar, Has the PWR intercooler made much of an improvement over the std PH2 o/p?tom Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/18621-fuel-economy/page/2/#findComment-269442 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickq Member 740 Member For: 21y 11m 27d Posted 04/07/05 01:14 PM Share Posted 04/07/05 01:14 PM (edited) I get 24.3L/100km at the moment. A little over 200km (220-230ish usually. I tend to fill up just under 1/4 tank left)that's for a standard T. Dare you to let me see how few kms per litre I can get with your Phase 1,2 and 3's!On the freeway its great (I do little freeway driving though). Its not uncommon to see 7-8L/100km at 100-110kmh.Interestingly, my Mk2 uses 1L/100km more than my Mk1 did, despite feeling like it puts out a fair bit less power. (I have zero doubt they partially neutered the Mk2s). Im praying it may be that I have only done 4000km...although they have been rather hard kms not taking it easy. Fingers crossed it will loosen up a little more and produce more power!
