Hi lads .My mate is looking to buy an ep3 currently and he asked me could I find out if a standard ep3 has simalar fuel consumption to a standard ek9 . I know it is a bigger engine but with it being ivtec , does it make much of a difference fuel consumption wise. also if your selling an ep3 in ireland , post the link in comments below and he might go look at it . thanks .
 
We have hit nearly 38mpg out of the EP mostly with mixed driving sits around 32mpg
 
Can't remember what I used to get out the 9 both B16 and or B18...

B18 fully built with 4.785FD used to be around 28mpg on runs. It did do 32 once.
 
K20 should be better on fuel consumption, having 6 gears helps on longer journeys to raise the mpg.
 
My old ep3 used to be pretty good on fuel there def easier than an ek9
 
Most I've got out of mine is 27mpg
Thats afew squirts of boost and the rest motorway
B16b 4.7 s4c
 
thanks lads . the ep3 my mate is heading to look at tomorrow is a 2005 one for 4500 . I am not up to date on ep3's so do not know if this is in around the price they are making but he seems to think it is anyway.
