Fuel Miles per gallon :D

right guys just wondering what your thoughts are on my miles per gallon, i run Vpower and its 141.9 per litre i put 35 pounds in and get around 160-165 miles with moderate driving and play/boosting here and there you no how it is when that little 2.0l scooby does your head in on the duels ;) (how we love power to weight ratio)

I think the maths is 35 pounds = 24.7 odd litres and 24.7 litres is around 5 and a half gallons so then its 165 miles divided by 5.5, which according to my calc is 30 miles per gallon?

Let me know if any of you super maths people can correct me but if i am right is this any good :cool:

or should i add after yesterday when that "little" Golf R32 comes up behind you attempts to overtake but realizes he cant and is matched with me pulling away on the straight :cool: ( Not that i would ever recommend you speed on the public road as i was ofcourse on a private road >_< :D

Think mines about the same, £40 of super gets me around 200miles, think it's prety good on a forged td05 to be honest, faster than my mates Evo 8 and a lot better on fuel

Starbo 2.
£40 v-power ruffly 28 litres/6 gallons- 210miles hitting speeds at 85/95mph on motorway and same with moderate driving with a few happy boostings ;) which gives me 160miles on normal roads and streets with running car on warm ups and when cooling. (turbo timer conflicting with alarm so have to sit an guess when to switch car off :(. )

Right so im pretty happy with that! although i think im running a little lean :/ an i guess sorting fuel out will give me less miles per gallon? :/ what mainly affects miles per gallon? coolant temp sensor and map sensor >?? and ofcourse i guess afr?
