would changing the 'branch' and xhaust make a difference?

Definitely getting rid of the cat will help your car breathe easier (less obstruction)

Think i'll check my MAF sensor when I get my car serviced by Budler. I feel like I should be getting 8l/100km and not really +- 10l/100km

Plus, fuel is kicking my ass...:yuck:

8l/100km is very low i doubt you will ever see that... 10l/100km is about right...

I get 9-10 km/l in town, normal driving. I saw 13km/l on the open road a good few times. Ofcourse, when you start visiting the other side of the rev counter all of the above goes out the window.... But overall, the fuel consumption of these cars is superb in relation to the fireworks under the bonnet.

This is my consumption averaging 140km/h with the aircon on most of the time. I did over 400km and still got half tank left.

Awesome. Got about the same when bringing my car from JHB. Got 700km on that tank and the reserve light had just gone on 10km before I filled up.

And then these 'peoples' in their stupid econoboxes think they are so smart and saving fuel, while in reality holding everyone up in the process - and then ultimately using the same amount of fuel as us! :thumbs:

Bottom line, it's not what you drive, but how you drive it.

I got 510 out of my tank, [Urban] and that is not driving conservatively. Consumption on 10.6. Oh.. and thanks Don/Zabbo for that good shit!!! Wife is quite impressed and so am I. :thumbs:

Glad to hear that :thumbs:

That is the expected response as those products are tested and used by us as well.

Well ... when do you need to re-stock?:=):

Nothing mysterious about it :) just a fuel system cleaner.
