r1george Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I've just got 400 km on a tank but that was with a good motorway journey included, knocking about town I usually get 300ish. Not to good but you have got 300+ hp. You could try the lemon juice trick on your O2 senser if you have a j-spec or O2 sensors x 2 if you have UK spec. I've just done mine and I think it's helped but that maybe wishful thinking:) Basically you remove the O2 sensor and leave it submerged in lemon juice overnight and it's ment to clean any crap out of it. The sensor on a j-spec is just under the exhaust heat shield above the first cat, it has a wire coming off it that goes to a connection on the front of the engine. The sensor is held on by 2 nuts. Hope this helps, you could a search for beeter info. Carl;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 So what are you getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Depends how you're driving it. If you're steady and mainly off boost you should get well into the 20's. If you're booting it everywhere you can easily drop into the teens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 If it's your weekend toy I suspect you're driving it in "Fun Mode". That's never good for fuel consumption. I've seen as little as 12mpg driving like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 i live in abuilt up area...... If the majority of your driving is around town, then you'll see less mpg's. If the O2 sensor hasn't been changed for a few years then fit a new one, it will pay for itself in fuel savings very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKIVDreamer Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 On a long steady motorway journey I managed 220 miles on half a tank. Changing the O2 sensor will make a difference as long as it's not been changed recently. BTW Nic can supply them at a very reasonable price - if you hadn't gathered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 how much for the o2 sensors and is it a 4week delivery? also is the j-spec o2 sensor the same as the uk spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
