You can take the air box out and drill a whole bunch of small holes on the underside to improve air flow.

.Stripes. All stock bar the k&n panel filter Silver Donating Members 8,061 Member For: 13y 29d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 30/12/13 10:00 PM Share Posted 30/12/13 10:00 PM Last tank I got 12.5L/100km calculated on my phone. Standard car, just with Growler CAI. I reset the average fuel usage trip when I bought the car and it's currently sitting at 13.0L/100km, it's dropped recently as I'm trying to see how economical I can get her to go. Mine is a manual and even with that 12.5L/100km I did overtake a few cars and although I did a fair few kms on freeways there's roadworks all over the place so it's not constant cruising. I generally get around 500kms out of a tank, which I'm stoked with given I got about the same out of my old Magna...but this car is so much more fun to drive.

I thought I would be getting better fuel economy after getting a tune done.I am pretty sure that the fuel economy is better, but I have been having waaaaay to much fun and my economy has gone from 13 up to 15l/100. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/141/#findComment-1448874 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know, slightly bigger tank) This is all sitting just under 110kph so really happy.Around town, forget it - just enjoy it. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/141/#findComment-1450249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
