Na I tried switching back to factory tune couple of times just to compare while taking it easy and it is a little thirstier. I'm not really fussed since it made the car a whole lot better but just annoys me a little to hear everyone saying how a tune improves fuel economy but mine made it worse :(.

Must of been a hell of a flat road with no traffic!66km trip each day to work and back over 8 day period. From the Hills district to the city is M2 motorway, and I have to drive through several suburbs to get to the M2, and also encounter city traffic lights and various hold-ups and stops to get to my city parking spot. Also other driving along busy Parramatta road one day.Stayed off the boost, but not driving slow.Brian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54936-fuel-economy-for-300kw/page/2/#findComment-829956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
