Steve Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 hi welcome to FOC did it start getting uneconomical as soon as you had the K&N fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 perhaps its to do with the air intake which causes more fuel to be used up. I am pretty sure i read somewhere about a chip needs to be added to manage the fuel.. I am not that sure to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnyvangough Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 personally i blame the government. In my TD van about 2 years ago i could manage 475 miles on £50. Now in my little crappy 1.4 corsa, i can do about 170 miles on £30!!! Depressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
