yes, but in general people dont. Folk moan about fuel consumption and dont understand why theirs is utterly shite " I never came it/drive it at high revs/...." | |

people are shy of dropping gears, you get to a hill in your 1.2 and put the pedal thru the floor in 5th trying to find some torque that doesnt exist and all youre doing is pouring fuel onto the road. Drop it a gear, find the powerband and go a little better. quote: So remove a perfectly workable fuel injection system given 35+mpg and fit some antiques that give peak performace at one rev/load site only and have to be set rich for safety? Would your first mod really be aleviating the inlet manifold which is suitable for 140hp? Rather than looking to the camshaft, or exhaust manifold, or even removing the cat!

I very very much doubt it can do 40mpg being driven like a loon seeing as my 1.2 8v SPi does 35mpg round town being driven very very sensibley, 30mpg with normal driving and 25mpg ragging it :| | |
