Poor Mpg

Been crawling around in the zed for the last week very rarely going above 3krpm although It come back as 19.32mpg! Its all be city driving so would be low anyway but expected to see in the 20s at least.

Going off the gauge (not the best I know) I got 70 odd miles to 1/4 of a tank than another 70 out of 1/2 a tank. Seems to drop once it gets past the 3/4 mark pretty sharpish! Got a total of 140.7miles from 33.1L thats 30p a mile.

My vis arnt working properly at the moment although keeping it below 3k that should effect it, i guessing.

Seems too low i reckon just wonder if it could be over fueling.

Jay, mines got similar issues...

Am going to change Spark plugs, crank sensor (due to starting issues) and run some redex through the system... then will revisit the issue incase its something stupid like that

Yer I changed the sparks and fuel filter recently so doubt the sparks are to blame for mine. Prob a sensor of some sorts.

Ahhh the joys of 40+ MPG and 72.9 a litre to fill it up

i constantly get 260 miles to a tank as i do the same innercity driving week in week out so sounds about right i think.

Theres no way id get 260 miles out a tank! Did 140 was was between the red and the 1/4 mark.

190 - 200 miles per full tank to almost nothing in the tank... driving like a grandad! definetly an issue with my fuel consumption!

One of the o2 sensors?

Jay-ZS+ · 17-02-11, 03:01 PM
