One for the experts ;-)
I am losing fuel - I'm pretty sure I'm not burning it. On a constant run
from 0 miles to 225miles I use 60/65 litres of fuel. This equates to 100
miles in the first 1/4 of the guage, 75 in the second and 50 in the third.
If I drive to a place, say 50 miles away after filling up and driving
normaly, park up overnight, start up in the morning - the guage happily
stays in the place I'd expect, until I hit the first corner/hill and it
drops and "loses" me 50 miles seemingly!
I know it's not the guage, as it's the amount of fuel I put back in that
hints that I'm losing it. Is this "normal" or is something not quite right
in there?
It's a 4.6 V8i running through a 3.9 Y-pipe with cats - which have begun to
rattle since replacement in March (OEM - £1800!?!). Can anyone tell me if
the 4.6 needed different cats?
Vehicle is a 97 Discovery.
