Default whats everyones fuel consumption like? got some brutal milage goin on

hey all,

just a quick question. My turbo DA6 is a brutal pig on gas, and was wondering if something is up with my setup or if its normal

ive got 440cc injectors, FP set to 38psi and running 12psi.

on 94 octance, i get about 200km to a tank of gas. Seems really **** poor if you ask me.

I did notice my O2 sensor was pooched so ive gone ahead and replaced it, but was wondering how everyone elses fuel comsumption is like.

Mine has been sucking *** lately, but I have been beating the ---- out of it on a very regular basis. I'm gonna fill up today and see how the next tank goes.

What are you using to control the injectors?

30/35 City/Highway with no full boost pulls. Beating on it hard I will get 25 mpg average.

I think you got a problem. My fuel economy is damn good. I got 372 mi. my last tank in my 90' hatch with a boosted mpfi d15b2 with 450 cc inj. This was about 90% highway with a few boosted pulls. I was amazed. I was also getting about 35 mpg highway with my built boosted d16a6. Seems like you really need to tune the part throttle portion of your map and lay off the gas.

funny thing is im generally not on it all the time. most of the driving is just that. Part throttle, casual driving. the only time i get on it is if someone wants to go at a highway battle or something, but other than that im generally too tired to bhe speeding.

ill throw a new O2 sensor in and play with the part throttle fuel map and go from there.

thx guys.

ill post up my fuel map to get some advice to get half decent milage
