Ive been doing a search but not really found what im looking for....theres loadsa threads discussin what people get MPG wise but mine seems to be mega low and I cant think why!
Basically Ive got a 2001 LC 180 petrol done approx 75k.
the full tank before my last full tank of 55 litres I got 250 miles out of it, then the last full tank I have just got 264 miles out of it....however after about a quarter of a tank I changed the spark plugs as they needed doing.
now I'm thinking maybe ill get more miles out of my next full tank as it will be totally with the new spark plugs, however what else can I check/change to help improve it?
My tyres are in good condition and pumped up, like i mentioned...new spark plugs, also have used a d-tox fuel injector cleaner to and the car isn't due a service for a while yet!
no engine mods at all...except a smoothed airbox which ive had for ages! and I dont go driving round too heavy footed....with the windows open or aircon blasting out. I've already replaced the temp sensor to a green one to.
My stock dump valve sounds a bit louder with the woosh which one of my mates said means its on its way out? could that have any affect on mpg?
Any suggestions or ideas welcomed!
