[ad4m]

hello i have a 1.2 sxi nova 92 standard engine and its using loads of fuel any idea why or can u tell me how much is should use and how fast should a 1.2sxi do cheers

With a heavy right foot and high speeds it'll go through a lot of fuel. Get 80-90 out of it on the flat?

What do you call loads of fuel...

What mpg?

i used to do around 38 in mine with a normal foot but in my 1.0 i can push 50 poss more on a ?5 lol with a very light foot!! :D

I do about 41 - 44 mpg in my 1.2 carb nova with K&N.

Now and again i put my foot down.

It does need the carb set up properly tho as my last MOT was lucky to pass with the emissions that were coming out.

I've just had my carb set up, but I'm still only getting about 30mpg. That said, most of those miles are me caning it, either stop start on delivery or blatting it around country lanes on cam most of the time!!

Is it a 4 speed box? Mines a 5 speed and struggles on a flattish bit of road to hit the 100 (read off a sat nav and kph of course....!!!)

Yeh thats normal as my 1.2 carb has been over the 100 mark.

On nova clocks tho...

Off the nova clocks is about 110mph real speed,Lol.

My 1.4 on webbers can do about 26+30 mpg but that is semi caning/driving really light. Go on yahoo or google type in mpg converter and you should get a n answer out of that:thumb:

My modded 1400 does at least 35mpg, foot stuck to the floor. lol
40ish mpg on motorway.

:D
