Obviously when I track it, pretty much whichever F/I engine I use will drink like an 18yr old in Ibiza...

Clearly, if you drive anything with forced induction like you've got Cheryl Cole waiting for you at home, you're going to return abysmal MPG, but I'm talking about 'normal' day to day driving.

12-09-2020, 03:07 AM #27I would love to see you get an Sr20 is200 completely running for 2k. You will also then be stuck with a car that sits close to 4000rpm on the motorway because you have the same gearbox and is200 diff, so you will be drinking fuel. You have to consider more than the engine.
