I thought the B was drinking the petrol down at a fearsome rate so I worked out the MPG.
227.2 km (141.2 miles) took up 36.02 litres of the stuff, which according to this calculator makes it 17.8 MPG (6.31 km per litre, 15.8 litres pre 100 km)
I don't drive like a granny, but nor do I drive like a maniac. I just drive pretty averagely I think. I got the exhaust changed at DTR a month or so ago, and the bloke there told me I needed the variator changing, saying the main problems I'll see is the infamous rattley engine and more fuel consumption. Surely the variator wouldn't affect the consumption as much as my figures would suggest though, would it?
When I bought the car a couple of months ago I drove it back from Wales and the fuel went down at the normal rate I would expect. So the car was OK then and the variator would have needed changing then aswell so I'm minded to think it's not the variator that's causing this. I only really noticed the increased fuel consumption about the time the exhaust got changed. Surely there's no way the new exhaust could affect fuel consumption is there?
Anyone have any ideas..? Much appreciated :worship:
