What's your MPG??
What kind if MPG figures do you guys get from your kit car?
I'm running a ford 2.0l zetec blacktop on R6 TBs and I recon I'm getting about 15-20Mpg driving steady!
Anyone got a similar set up to me? If so what's your appox MPG?

On the pinto on GSXR600 TBs and megasquirt i used to get around 30mpg on a run and 25 on a spirited drive.
Duratec returns around the same even with the charger strapped on. Will be interesting too see what it is once its set up properly though.

Thanks David, I really need to upload my megasquirt setup because I'm sure it's using to much fuel. I'm sure someone will spot
something wrong with my data file

You need some carbs mate!
I have the same engine on ZX6R carbs and get just under 40 at motorway speeds and 15 ish on a track day!

Do you have a WB Lamda fitted?
If so it will tell you most of what you need to know.
You want to aim at 14.7 cruising and light acceleration. And 12.5AFR WOT. I assume you have mapped using alpha_n and not speed_density.
Upload your msq and I will have a look.

I've got a 1.7VCT Zetec SE from a Puma in a 520Kg Mojo, and I get about 35-40mpg when cruising (70mph is about 3000rpm in 5th). I'll be
going round Snetterton in it next week so I'll let you know what I get then!

42 mpg on a round trip to Antwerp.
2.0 Duratec with GSXR TBs.
I didn't include the track day round Zolder though, that might have reduced it a bit

A standard m3 does 28ish so should get 35-45 pulling less than half the weight.
