Driving like an old lady
#1
Just wondering what's the best fuel consumption everyone has had from our various states of tune?
I've just eaked 592 miles on a tank with a 9mm Bosch lda grind and gov mod and a GT15 making 20psi. I was very impressed with this return even if it did mean I had to drive like mother Theresa. Apart from the 2 times I had goons following too close so I booted it to cover them in black smoke! They soon back off. :-)
If I boot it everywhere I can get as low as 400 miles per tank, so it does make quite a considerable difference. Anyone beat 592?

I got 620 the other week going down to my sisters in Stoke and back. Mostly motorway between 70-80mph (aimed not to go above 3k rpm). Running a Bosch 9mm pump that's been stage 1 tuned/ lda ground and a straight through decat system, still std topmount intercooler.

Usually only get about 400-450 though.

when i first got the car i tried motorway driving at 60mph to max out the economy and got 550-600 miles to a tank, but then found it much more fun to hoon instead and take 400-450 miles to a tank as it wasn't worth the boredom :p
