I left my car switched off for the whole weekend - and it didnt use any at all!!

The default might be a 40 or something like that. Based on this score - it determines how to shift.In all reality - did you buy the car to save fuel?? I drive my car with a bit of gas - cause it is fun!PS - in reality - I use more fuel in stop-start traffic, than a clearer road giving the car a tickle along.

cobrav8 Member 1,969 Member For: 20y 1m 14d Gender: Male Location: New Zealand Posted 13/06/06 10:52 AM Share Posted 13/06/06 10:52 AM I do actually get 500k out of most tanks (around 62 litres). That is a mix of 100k and stop start - avreage speed ends up about 50 - 60km.So... I definately think you need a tune up - something cant be right using as much as you do. I drive the car reaonably hard, or going slower - and doesnt make a huge difference.Get yourself an edit, and have one of the tunes an economy tune. Some of the tunes (eg Wogs) I have heard are more economical - even when producing more power than standard. (though in all truth - how much fuel would you have to save to pay for the edit). Get it for fun as well. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26136-weird/page/3/#findComment-394194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
