1.4sr performance

[Benjoyce]

Does anyone know the mpg of a 14sr with performance exhaust and K'n'N?? ireckon its about 30 but others have said more. I need to know coz i can't get my petrol gauge to work no matter what!!

?10 worth of petty got me to devon from southampton
(115 ish) miles if that any help?

[jamesdarlington]

Well it depends how you drive it mate. On long runs obviously its gonna be better if your not hammering it, i wud say 32-35mpg but around town its gonna be a lot less not more than 30mpg probably around 24 ish'mpg. I took my k&n off recently cos it jus munches my fuel and i actually cant afford to run it. I have a peco big bore 4 and it runs pretty economically now without the k&n. I know it makes a lot of difference but with a zorst ur car shud b pretty nippy still. hope dats ok

i used to get 32 MPG with weber 32/34 and full mogoose exhaust system, and ram air filter (same as k&n jobby)

i havent checked it since latest engine setup :? i cant really judge until it is RR and setup properley though as i know its not running 100%

will be interesting............

Depends how you drive it. I use to be able to make a full tank fo petrol last me 4 weeks driving in urban traffic. The journeys I use to take would be to and from work which was about 8miles a day in total, 6, sometimes 7 days a week. So give or take a few miles, a full tank use to last me for 200-250miles in urban driving. I could do a fair few more miles than that if i was doing motorway driving though.

I get about 80miles to a tenner! Is that about average for a 1.2 carb, with K&N, and back box? Think its not that good for a 1.2.

[Benjoyce]

Also If you no its not your clocks that are broke get under ur car & check the petrol sender as the wire may just have broke. You will see the wires on the petrol tank if you get under the car. Defo worth a check... :wink:

[Benjoyce]
