seduced Need more power. Now taking donations. Member 753 Member For: 16y 4m 1d Gender: Male Posted 08/05/09 02:42 AM Share Posted 08/05/09 02:42 AM yes it did change. on std, I get around 12-14 L/100, with a 10psi tune I avg around 16-18 L/100...and mostly because I get up it alot more. If I drive it very slow, I.e shift before 2500rpm, very light throttle, I have kept it down to 10.5L/100 around town and in the 9s on the highway.So, depends on your style. If you drive it hard, it will get thristy. I doubt the consumption is that much higher, however, your driving style will change with the flash. Mainly because you wont believe the power you now have access to.In saying that, forget fuel bills and get the damn flasher and unlock what you are missing out on...or better still, go get a custom tune.

I can assure you though, when the pedal goes down I can almost watch the needle move on the fuel gauge!
