Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 4m 19d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 15/01/12 03:27 AM Share Posted 15/01/12 03:27 AM Mate you'd do well to try calculating your fuel consumption instead of trusting what the cars computer says also.. Reset your averages when you fuel up and set the odometer and compare results.. Two very different stories from my experience.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 26d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 15/01/12 03:45 AM Share Posted 15/01/12 03:45 AM Absolutely. After being tuned the instant readout never drops far below 2L/100 even going downhill in 6th gear no throttle, whereas before it would read 0.02L/100 on same road.Also pre tune the avg fuel use readout was 1L/100km higher than actual measured at pump/odo, post tune it reads about 1.5L/100 LOWER than actual use. My guess is 99.9L/100 is the highest it can record internally and while under WOT it's certainly higher than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can log the 'number of fuel injectors turned on' as well as your wideband input into your xcal3.....give it a go :-)Once tuned and bigger injectors are installed, your fuel read-out can be funky...remember fuel flow is not measured. Data is input into the calibration and this is used in the fuel use algorithm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful as a guide only, just like when it was stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its quite interesting what the ford engineers have done and why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1600dave Donating Members 872 Member For: 13y 11m 11d Posted 13/02/12 10:37 PM Share Posted 13/02/12 10:37 PM Please elaborate.Are BA/F the same as FG in regards to this area?I've tried stomping on it to 120kmh in my BF2 and then completely lifting off, never reads 0.00l/100km though, just slowly drops down as the car decelerates.My fuel economy isn't too bad but any improvements a good thing, and just wondering why some cars do it and others don't.
