26mpg on motorway? wtf? i got 36.5mpg doing 70-77mph today
get about 29mpg around town, and i got a 16v

i was going a little faster than thatplus no lambda sensor. could that be making it judder and misfire at 2000rpm?
most likely mate
get it sorted, as i thought the 8v was much better on fuel then 16v?
im waiting for new cat and lambda to arrive (65 quid instead of 231 + 70 from japseye) but havent managed to find downpipe yet. i still havent maxed my car yet but got nicely into triple figures and had 5th gear race with audi a5 and won
would edit last bit (no talk of racing)

may get complete stainless steel manifold and find out wats inside of it making that rattling noise
8v mpg is a lottery....
motorway i can get 43 mpg plus....on my 8 miles trip to work i am lucky to see 28.
tyre pressure, excess car weight, dirty TB, the need of a service.......anything could effect it.

only bought it last friday and got no service history with it. needs coolant filling up. oil filter looks at least 6 month old. high mileage too.
increased air flow won't directly improve MPG, will improve the combustion mixture (oxygen) but not in the same way a supercharger/turbo will, so in most cases it makes it worse, my exhaust seriously ruins my MPG!

induction filter could do with a clean. covered in grit since theres no wheel arch where it sticks through. got new bits today tho new wheel arch, headlight, indicator, door latches, gearstick gator, fuse box cover. all for 45 quid
