After removing the EGR valve I have been getting 550 to 560 miles per tank since.

So now having acquired a de-cat pipe i hope to find another increase.

I still have not cleaned out the inlet manifold of all the black crap and change the viscous fan to electric.

So hopefully more to come.

What :eek: You removed the EGR but didn't clean the ****e out of the cooler nd manifold :confused:

There's power or mpg (but not both) hiding in that intercooler :D:D
 
Went to remove my manifold after de cat:D can see two of the bolts but where are the other two:confused:
Manual is unclear :mad:
 
run it on wvo...............don't give a toss what mpg you get when it's free:D

They're hidden, slightly inwards of the top two i think, under the manifold. 10mm if i remember correctly, i think they only need loosening but maybe not.
 
hi charles, tried to turn my self round, but all that happened was i started to generate electricity.
 
well. just came back and found my post covered in magnets and other such fun stuff. cheers for the good suggestions, averaged around 32ish to the gallon. and that was on a real mix of roads, including the super steep "Lecht" road in Strathdon, all done with 5 folk in the vehicle a roof rack and it was packed to the gills. was mighty pleased with her. cheers guys!
 
im going on a long, long journey in my disco. and want to find as many ways as possible to increase mpg, no suggestion too small. the more imaginative the better.
obviously things like air filter etc i know but specific suggestions would also much appreciated.

fit a bonnet scoop, rear spoiler, front spoiler, and flaired wheel arches ;):D

According to boy racers i met in halfords car park, the muffler tip made from a baked bean can is far better than a whole new performance exhaust and a k and n filter is usless, the sticker gives you the extra power! :doh::D

Is that a Baked Beans can WITH sausages, or without?

Six sausages might make a big difference to the sound.

Do you not find that using a beans can causes more emissions from your exhaust ?

For maximum mpg, yo need to fill the rear with amplifiers and oversize sub speakers to get that familiar thump-thump-thump noise when driving.
 
take out the seats! oh and all the interior lining, oh and close your wing mirrors, sunroofs closed, remove arial, lose some weight, dont carry passengers, dont do any unessacary breaking against the engine, use the gears instead, avoid traffic, avoid traffic lights, avoid city centres, avoid hills, avoid rough roads, keep everything turned off inside, pull out needless relays, dont accelerate more than the arctic lorry is in front of you, stay behind the arctic lorry ion front off you, but not to far and not to close, ignore hitchikers, dont take luggage, remove tow bar, remove winch, remove sidesteps, remove roofrack, ummmmmmmm remove carpets, remove glovebox door, remove storage bins, remove spare wheel, change to road only tyres, dont fill the tank to much/or too little, remap ecu, blank egr, insert valve lifter/seafoam, insert redex/stp, ummmmm, remove boot door?? pray, and ummm oh wait a minute!!! you have already done the trip!! doh!
 
MPG doesn't matter one little bit!

What does matter is ££££££s spent on fuel.

If I use biodiesel that costs me 25 pence a litre to make, what do I care if the car does 28 mpg or 32? If I was buying pump fuel at £1.20 a litre I might start thinking about mpg.


CASH boys - it's what matters. How many £££££s are you paying for every 100 miles.

Not Miles per Gallon, but rather Miles per Pound cash, mp£.
