I was getting between 20-50 more km out of a tank when it was stock so if your tuner knows his sh*t it shouldnt really change much Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85337-average-fuel-consumption-as-mods-increase/#findComment-1399475 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 8m 19d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 19/06/13 09:39 AM Share Posted 19/06/13 09:39 AM CHILLR,I've seen no change in my fuel economy with the increased HP. Certainly if your 'on it' then it's going to use more fuel but with my weekly commutes to work and back I've seen no change. From factory the car is tuned quite rich so if you get a tune only and drove the same then there would be a fuel economy improvement. The extra torque with a tune will also aid the car getting up hills without the need for the ZF to shift back.

Spinning Donating Members 348 Member For: 15y 9m 30d Posted 17/07/13 11:31 AM Share Posted 17/07/13 11:31 AM ChillROn the back on the post by Benny , I am averaging around 14km per 100(stock as). I see you had posted around 15 .. It will interesting to read what the car is averaging now , following your recent mods . I will expect that you're driving it alot harder and more often - smiling all the way .. So , it doesn't really matter whether the consumption is a little better, same and a little or a lot worst, I guess , it's the enjoyment your hard earned has brought that I am really interested in reading.
