It's not total stop start, but it is busy, so I literally don't have the opportunity to even thrash it, and I'm actually trying to get the best economy atm to see what it will do.I'm thinking I need to take it to an EFI specialist to get an AFR probe shoved up it's coit.

miker Member 115 Member For: 17y 8m 18d Location: upright Posted 31/08/06 12:10 PM Share Posted 31/08/06 12:10 PM hi guys,I've had my T for aproximatley 2 weeks now and love every thing about the car apart from the fuel bill. its an 04 5spd manual done 58000k's. I dont drive it that often. when I do I give it a bit of a squirt now and then but mainly the mrs just putts it around town during the week yet the fuel consumption doesnt go under 16l/100k's. its costing me about $75 a week to go less than 300k's!I'm not going to mod the car for more power because of warranty concerns but what can I do to improve the blasted fuel economy? otherwise if petrol gets much dearer it will be the shortest ownership in history.cheersmike.←What's the service history like on your car?I'd recommend having the fuel filter changed, pump screen clean and replacing the O2 sensor. What fuel do you run in it?←usually a 95 octane. mainly vortex. service history is good as it's ex telstra fleet←so what u mean to say is that it was run on 91 octane all its life??total fuel system clean buddy....←you know I didnt even consider that aspect of the telstra fleet. I think you might have hit the nail on the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Member 43 Member For: 17y 8m 10d Posted 31/08/06 10:19 PM Share Posted 31/08/06 10:19 PM Stupid question, but why would having it run on 91 octane require it to have a fuel system flush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
