How does average fuel consumption differ from stock, to just a tune, then to cooling, pulleys, injectors etc?

Atm running around on 15.5 stock and it cops a handful daily.

Im getting 500 from a tank with mods.. 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

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.

On E85 with 80% of the time WOT, I'm getting around 250-280km/s a tank.

But E85 only costs me $1.06 per litre

On 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.
