60 miles out a full tank!

[mrsoundcraft]

Ive just managed to get 60 miles out a full tank of petrol. The last 2 tanks did just short of 200 miles.

I have re tuned my carb today and I think this may help a bit I think I have an occasional misfire too.

Although I had a spark issue during a really wet morning last week, which brought me to a halt. so Im wondering what sort of stuff I can do to service my renix unit?

60 miles is insane. If you've not got a running issue normally I'd seriously be looking into fuel leaks.

You either have a serious problem or a miscalculation, thats 6.6mpg. Fuel theft?

My rally car did 10mpg on Croft

My 4wd 2L turbo charged car does better aswell, but its waiting for many new suspension parts to arrive. £65 FOR A TRACK ROD END!!!!!

Dont think its got a fuel leak, but I'll be checking when I next see it
Today I had to drive to work with my foot to the floor otherwise the car felt like the brakes were on, think it was a spark problem again. When I puled into a parking space at work the car stalled in neutral, and that was that. Ofcourse it was running fine again 10 minutes later.
Ive ultrasonicly cleaned my spark plugs and that might have helped, they were solid black before, so a small indication of how rich it was running.

as a comparison, i got 314 miles out of my 1.4 on the last full tank.

but its a peugeot 205..... with a 50 litre tank

Its still got a french engine so not that far removed! Got my fingers crossed this tank will get me more.

that is horrendus, its cost me about £65 to fill up, a quid a mile :O

On the motorway, long haul, i think ill get just under 300 miles to a tank

[Speedy88]

Just did 248miles to a tank, filled up 36 litres which is about 31mpg for aggressive town driving and a one motorway run down to Southampton. I think they call that the average load test?

thats pretty good! It cost me £25 to get fromm swansea to buckingham, at 130.9p a litre

so thats 37 mpg, on alittle bit of motorway and alot of A road, the car isnt too bad on feul
