lol my mate has a 1.8 turbo seat ibiza and he fitted his dump valve and we were goin round town and u could literally see the fuel goin down

it screwed up his cat

now he fitted another dump valve and he's getting 15 miles to the gallon if he pushes his car even remotely lol

mind u if u can afford a car like that i guess u can afford the petrol :)

I get around 280-300miles to a tank in my 1.6. I hammer it around most of the time too! My 1.2 was shit for economy.

hmmm mite be rite then. Although very reliable and capable of taking a good caning, the 1.2 8v engine really are crap. Very slow and uneconomical around town.

....round town in my 1.2 8v? I'm on 16"s with BFO filter and back box......but even by taking it easy, i'm only gettin 20-23mpg.....seems crap?

i mean on motorways its fine, i can do bout 120 miles on a tenner, but round town i'm gettin bout 50 miles from same amount of petrol. Obvisouly i dont expect 50mpg round town, but is 20mpg realistic from a 1.2 8v?
