Ish Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 what kind of miles do you lot get from the 1.6 zetec engine from say £10. my brothers does 65 miles to £10 with city driving but taking it easy ( works out to about 22mpg) i thought they were meant to do about 30mpg engine mods are piperx induction kit+powerflow cat back exhaust system the car has been checked on a ford fault code reader and was fine. also was put on gas analyser and this was spot on as well. the car generally runs fine etc any ideas on what else to try/check? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

900ss Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 I’ve never checked as fuel is so cheap I would put the poor mpg down to the fact the 1.6 is so gutless so you need to rag it everywhere to get the thing to go imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted January 26, 2003 Author Share Posted January 26, 2003 looking at the replies i'd say it should be doing better than 65miles to £10 (22mpg) so what can you recommend i should check/try?? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted January 28, 2003 Author Share Posted January 28, 2003 lol don't believe in those thing m8. don't like the idea that they make the car run lean!! plus the fact it would never make it do another 20 miles odd to £10 oh well the search for the answer to the mpg problem goes on!! cheers anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
