MPG with throttle bodies ? Your experiences

Howdy,
As of last week i've started using a 9A lump with some jenvey 45 DTH bodies on as a daily driver
Just wondering what sort of MPG people are getting around town and along the motorway on a run ?

It actally seems very good if you stick to 1/2 throttle, alough that it largly to do with the mapping..

Experiences ?

Mart

 

i think jelly mentioned a figure of about 10mpg on his run to no-rice a couple of months ago, although whether thats indicative of his general MPG i'm not sure

 

I fgure around town im getting about 20-25 and cruising is much closer to 30mpg.
I know its got a good map thats a little lean until 1/2 throttle which must help

 

Interesting stuff guys. Always good to know as I will have a set on, err, two engines soon. Shares in Shell could be a good idea!!

 

jetta would return 32-35mpg on motorway cruising (mapped to do so) and in the other extreme would do about 10mpg track attacking

 

do you all run two maps?

 

I was getting around 30mpg on a run,around 12-18 mpg for fast road use

 

like you said - its all in the mapping - mine was mapped to be very good on fuel at 75-80mph a while ago and like Bill said, would make maybe 30mpg.

But not any more. Now mapped for maximum attack ! daft mpg.....90 miles on 45L of optimax on a trackday is about normal, less mpg for sprints.

 

pug 307 2l 16v on boddies an track 6 mpg [:^(]

 

30ltrs in 12 laps @ Combe

 

So what you're saying is my Ring trip in 3 weeks is going to be an expensive one lol..
20 or so laps or so.. In how many tanks :O

Bring the noise

 

16v on Bike carbs What MPG

I'm thinking of doing the bike carb route for my 16v KR... I've done a search about MPG, but it seems everytime it's asked its never answered!

So what MPG do you get?

Rich.

 

5-10 average, around 15 if I drive really, really gently...

 

dont let that put you off carbs tho

 

has that been set up properly?

I've heard claims of 25-30 with a good set-up? is that far fetched?

They only reason I ask is because i'm a student.. so skint most of the time!

 

WTF?

just buy an S8 and be happy with 23mpg.

 

I think 20 - 25 mpg is definately achievable with a correct set up and tune, but the noise is too addictive to not drive it flat out everywhere. I average 12 - 15 on twin 45 webers 9a

 

Not too bad. I suppose if I wanted good economy i'd get a 1.1! As long as a half-decent MPG is acheivable around town with nice driving thats all i'm bothered about. I expect if I drive hard i'd get next to nothing!

Whats everyone else get?

 

7mpg on my Mk1 16v on 45's

 

Jesus! Thats low. Is it set up properly or a Highly tuned engine?
