on my old tuned x14xe which had piper 256 cams, mantzel style inlet, full system, decat, c16xe downpipe, c16xe managment and injectors. on a round trip to southampton and back to plymouth which worked out to 330 miles it cost exactly £28. on average around town ect it would do 50miles per £5 which was a mixture of high revs and gentle driving...
