Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Mine used to sit at half way but since I changed the coolant tank and thermostat/sensor on Friday it never goes higher than quarter of the way up. If I stop the car and restart it, it sits at half way but as soon as I start moving again it drops.
define poor ha ha is it less than double figures or just into the teens

29.8...Seen a high of 30.1 recently.
in a 2.0 8v id say that was average is that motorway or round town tho cos if its motor way theres somthing stealing your fuel
yep, motorway.
i rest the ECU and ive seen an increase but i fear i may have a leak or its running very rich.

Bring it to the september derby meet if you want an 8v comparison session, mines standard and hitting early 40's at present.
50.8 mpg over 102 miles today
And which bloody great lorries slip stream were you in?
Thats the only way i've seen those figures on a motorway!
When i had the valver super didnt result in any better economy, just got round the rev range a bit quicker.
If your wanting max economy out of it then standard unleaded (not supermarket) and shift before 2500 rpm until in top gear.
Used to get 40mpg out of mine on a good run
If i wanted good economy i'd be driving a diesel fiesta !!!
Thanks for the reply though, i might fill my next tank with super and see what the difference is, sometimes it takes a while to get up to the 3500rpm power band in the valver if you dont want to drop a gear. Just a bit cautious of overheating it on super really

You wont overheat it. I did chesterfield to torquay in 2.5 hours at a sustained speed in the early hours. Never bothered it.
