Who need diesel Bocanegra Ecomotive!!

[mardon]

37.7.. I managed that today with a fair old blast.. You guys need to practice feathering the accelerator and using inclines etc when you dont need the power. Saves so much fuel.

Oh an BTW 510miles to 0 indicated.. happy bunny as the tank wasn't even that vented.

Result mate!!!!!!!

what speed did you hit mardon 40mph? can you film your trip to work becuase my car is way way way off yours. full tank = 260 for me.

 

[mardon]

An hour long trip to work? That would be the most boring vid EVER... I'll film the speedo for 5 mins in the constantly updating MPG mode and show the speed. You can see how I go on and come off the accelerator gently. Does give you a little bit of leg ache until you get used to it.

Mine is well bedded in now. When I first got it was no where near as good. Also remember i'm running stage one and v-power so the car is really running at its most optimum level so I have the best possible chances of good figures.

so jealous

[mardon]

Hey he asked.

This mornings journey was far more interesting. 28mpg and a shocked new shape TT and 172 cup

 

[maberzee]

haha congratulations, bet there was no video???

ARGHHHHHHHHH see it wouldnt have been boring hour long vid after all tut, useless

 

[Jonezyfr]

thats good that, get 48mpg from my lfr tdi

seriously considering one of these bocanegras now, specilly after the above, the o-60 mardon has managed and the quote i got from the insurance at £406! my leon is £800!


hate the wheels tho.

You can vent?

 

[mardon]

You certainly can.

I like the wheels although I am considering some black team dynamics as they are very light and look mean!

The 53mpg does take some work. Its not a figure you'll get everyday. My usual commute is around 45ish.

 

[Jonezyfr]

would be more than happy with 45 mpg.

i quite fancy the gun metal oz ultralegs on the red boca

 

[tkmking]

What do you mean by venting the tank?!

 

[mardon]

Venting the tank is where you can get more that 45ltrs. You can vent to about 52ish but I don’t go that far.

If you look in the mouth of the filler on the right hand side you will see a small valve, you can push it with the filler pump and it will hiss releasing air from the expansion tank. You can then fill this space with a little more fuel. Useful for long trips.

and this is why it takes the first segment of your fuel gauge to go blank, and the rest to go quickkkkkkkk.... hehehehehe
