MPG!!!!!Hi guys,
As I know everyone can appreciate, fuel is flippin expensive!!!!! I just wondered what people have been doing to make the juice last. I've removed side steps and spare wheel from my 1995 2.2 lwb petrol. Anyone got any other good ideas in making it last or getting a bit more power? Thanks Alex
Re: MPG!!!!!1) empty the boot of tools and other heavy items
2) drive at 56MPH directly behind a HGV instead of doing 70 with nothing infront of you. 3) only open your windows a inch of 2 instead of all the way down when traverling at high speeds 4) dont put things on the roof ![]() My 2.8 shorty - now sold, and comments here My old dti - now sold "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "WOW --- What a Ride!" This vehicle runs on 100% recycled dinosaurs

Re: MPG!!!!!im made up with my consumption. its the op gutted bout it. im probably getting more but as i say i do a lot of stop start
Re: MPG!!!!!If i drive like miss daisy gear changes at 2k and keep the revs as low as possible and dont go above 70 i can push low 30s out of her.
I have just pushed just over 500 miles to £120 thats roughly 24p per mile tank was almost dry
Re: MPG!!!!!iv got a 2.8 and i get around 300miles to £70 and i never run it to low as it sucks crap up off the bottom of the tank and being an old car i bet theres a bit of it.
Thanx, Andy
