Fuel economy
Arightpest:
Just come back from a trip around the Alps and managed a very reasonable 29 :) from very mixed driving from trip over the maintains in low box to 60 to 65 miles an hours cruses on the French toll roads in the end we have completed over 2 thousand miles . I have got a 200 TDI with a K&N plus larger intercooler plus adjusted pump but I did have a roof rack on plus a top box. The only problem was the odd black cloud :roll: high in the Alps due to the lack of air but this also happened to one of our party with a TD5 with a chip so it wasn’t a problem. Simdeb was also with us and we did the run together but due to him towing a sankey trailer and 2 extra kids every time we filled up it cost me on average 8 to 10 euro less than him.
Ps I hope you got back ok Gords. :D
All the best Arightpest
