JamieP Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Somethings is not right, ive not reset it since fitting the supercharger but its gone up from 16mpg pre SC fitting to 20mpg with the SC. Fuel computer playing up surely? its twice as fast now and cant be that good on on fuel? The more i cain it the better it gets Next time i fill it up ill measure it myself, someone remind me how to work it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Quite a few cars see these results when fitting an SC. I remember an 1800 Ford Zetec running over 200bhp giving around 30mpg with one And: http://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-Your-Car's-Fuel-Efficiency-(MPG) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I've seen cars get better mpg when power has been upped with forced induction, it's not uncommon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csa Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 most german cars shows litre per 100 km. maybe yours is actually showing gallons per 100 miles...would explain a lot ;-) but if its the case it would equal to 8mpg...that does sound a bit harsh ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
