U dot wanna be running it till light flashes! will clog the fuel filter up eventually, always have a bit in.

my car before i got my unichip was only getting 190 miles for £30! i get about 240 now! thats with induction, full exhaust, decat, manifold!

would be good to see if people have exhauts and air filters etc to see if they effect fuel economy

i got a custom backbox n a k&n air filter with drilled box, from £20 i get around 150 - 175 miles although.... i put £15 in the other week n had nearly 200 miles :boggle: that was when the light was flashing too and the same garage i use all the time to re-fuel

The economy on mine is wank

I get just over 250 miles with 20 quid in my SXi. It's all motorway driving too, so sometimes depending on how much I want get home from work its less than 250 miles :lol:

yeah out of my 1.6 sport for £30 quid im getting over 350 miles n thats driving quite fast too,

i reced one of them 1.8 but the gsi vesion couldnt get away from me :D

Alot depends on how/where you drive. If you only do short trips it kills the fuel consumption, compared to longer journeys. Also driving styles affect how much fuel you use. Not neccesarily thrashing the car, but full throttling it makes a big difference to part throttling it.

To be honest it drank fuel when i got it , for standard it only did 275 miles for £30 Quid , now its gettin worse. im going to thrash it a bit tonight then i will report on my progress. if it keeps up i will have to get it chipped then set up properly on the rolling road , see if that helps. it does have a hard life being a rally slag :)

cheers for the help all.

out ov my 1.2 16v i used to get 100 mile from a tenner thats just runnin till the light just comes on! and thats putting my foot down abit!

corsa-sxi urs sounds like its drinking fuel u shud get bout 150 mile outa £15

Might try the reset thing , i always run it till it flashes , he he

its annoying really because power is well up , but fuel is way down , price i got to pay i suppose !

i personally dont think resetting does anything at all. all a bit woowoo me thinks.

do u run it till the red light flashes, cos i can get about 15-20 more miles when red light comes on, i put £15 in and get about 95 miles, till red light comes on, then i drive for another 15-20 then i fill up as im scared it will run right dowm, shall i reset ecu cos i have got a backbbox and bfo cone

i found this with my 1.2 when i put my filter on it! id just stick to k&n panel filter and drilled air box! probably get more power that way aswell

could be your fuel management, but thats just a guess. try disconecting the battery for an hour and resetting the ecu

try reseting the ecu! u shud do this when u do mods like this

Hi all,

Ive got a vauxhall corsa C 1.4 SRI , its got the Z14XE engine.

I have got a K&N air filter , ecotek valve, and full powerflow exhaust. the exhaust only has one rear silencer and i still have my cat.

Problem being is that when i got the exhaust it had a centre silence , which i have recently had removed. the car now really drinks fuel , im not talking a bit more im talking 50 miles for £10 , and thats driving sensibly.

can anyone think of a reason for this ? and would chipping the car help, like having the fueling set up properly ?

cheers
