a98pmalcolm Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hay all just a quick question. Recently my car has been doing a terriable MPG. I get about 200 miles a tank but with this tank its been 92 miles and over 1/2 a tank used. Admitedly yes iv been a lil heavy footed with this tank but but 11mpg now is a killer!! Its only BPU with a few extras. Iv changed the O2 sensor last year. Just has a service on it. And i use BP Ultimate which is ment to help with the mpg. I went to a small drive opened the bonnet to check for strong fuel smells. And there is a faint one. All fuel lines dont seem to have any leaks.... Any ideas?

Gaz6002 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hay. 92 miles from half a tank isn't that bad TBH, I've heard of worse. Going TTC would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajinder Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I also get 200 or so miles to a tank full. Pedal to the metal of course. That is about all you will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Get it on a dyno or checked on the road with a wideband to see how its running, I drove my single auto back from York to Brighton after winning the RWD of TOTB on a single tank and that was with a few other singles and we were not hanging about.

Nic Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Iv changed the O2 sensor last year. OEM Toyota sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, in top gear "off boost" on the motorway i suppose you will get good MPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were quite a few 'fly by's' that 'may' have been well over 160mph;) and the last 90 or so miles I was towing a box trailer with all my race spares etc in it, I believe its actually well over 300 miles dude.
