^^^ i used to get around 400-450kms from regular unleaded with my breeze but engine used to knock and make pinging sounds, now i use premium or 98 ron and engine is good but i get around 350-400kms.
i never try Premium fuel, is that work better?? i only filled up when tank is almost empty. anything should i check??
maybe your combustion isn't so good...
have you checked if you've got good sparks and air mixture is correct?
I get about 500+km per tank - my car uses about 7.2L/100kms sometimes 8L - depending on driving conditions.
what is air mixture? did u mean air filter??
I got 535Km out of my tank.
My friend has proven that premium is more economical than unleaded. But, can you fill up with premium just like that or there is something that has to be set beforehand?
i can get to 400km then the light turns on.
ek4 v-tir stock standard, is that okay or should i be gettin a bit more?
but with my whale pipe on i struggled to break the 350 mark
all depends on driving conditions. if its lots of stop and start/ heavy traffic then thats not too bad with a bit of spirited driving.
mods will often cause the engine run rich ie worse economy as the stock fuel map is not suited to the modifications.
i've found short ram intakes to cause my car run quite rich while a CAI setup with longer intake arm to run less rich. i came to these conclusions basically from the amounts of soot building up on my rear bar.
I've found that my DIY CAI has helped my fuel efficency amazingly! Last tank, i wasn't trying, and got 518km out of 35L. :D
