29.0 mpg

Post by jeffw » Sun Apr 25, 2004 9:09 pm

Driven down from Scotland (Perthshire) to Kent (486 miles) and the DIS is showing 29.0mpg with an average speed of 66mph ....not bad for 400bhp...

Yeah, so how often and for how long did your engine make 400bhp on that trip?

On an easy run we all have the same 2.7 litre low compression engine, no matter what turbos we have fitted!

AmD remap, APR R1 DVs, APR bipipe, Full Miltek exhaust
H&R coilovers, AWE DTS, Porsche front brakes, Short-shifter, 18" RS4 replicas
Defi-HUD boost gauge / turbo-timer (with afterrun pump modification), Phatbox
