hey guys was just wondering what kind of MPG/kpg you guys are getting in your b16b's with intake and exhaust??? or even stock?
 
400 miles on one tank the other day, will note the difference with my new 3.4kg flywheel if any
 
i got 45 mpg on very long run driving like like a granny but was in no rush and was trying to save fuel. Average bout 30 mpg on normal road driving and 15 to 18mpg on track.
 
thanks for the input guys.... what rpm/ are you driving at.... here in the us on the freeway we go 65-70 MPH so i end up runing @ 3500-4000 rpms!! HRT^^^^ what were your rpms on average on your 45mpg trip??

tell go longer if car is fully lightened interesting to see the difference
 
With my Stock 9 i average 30mpg

but when payday comes around i can easily manage between 15-20MPG !!!! LOL!
 
30mpg's? Is this city/highway mix driving or what really? I used to average 28-30mpg's city driving on my stock D16Y7 auto on 87 octane but I had to try at it!
 
i have a CAI and Cat Back Exhaust, and get 250 miles from a full 35 litre tank, which averages out about 28.5 mpg. That's combining motorway driving, city driving and some b-road blasts!! :)
 
50 km per gallon, completely stock :)
 
i used to get around 600km out of a full tank, but after the intake, exhaust & final drive & heavy right foot i get around 400km. :D
 
Full tank of v power £40 ish and got 260 miles mixed driving. not bad i thought
 
approx 320 - 340 km`s on £35 of v power @ 1.09 a litre = 32 litres approx,

yep ek9 done about 300 miles sitting about 70 then got bored and thrashed it a bit, fuel light came on then filled it back up. drive about 700 miles a weekend on the motorway and dropping my speed down a little doesn't really affect my travelling time but fuel consumption goes right down.
worst thing is little d#ckheads in corsas sitting up my backside wanting to have a go.
 
thanks for the input guys....shuld be checking mine in the next day or 2... i'll post up my results!!
