I had around 35mpg on trip down to Devon earlier in year stooging along at less than National speed limits, annoying whine on near side prevented excess speed !

at moment driving every opportunity before it comes of road end of sept , most like low 20s , and increased oil consumption , it’s a bugger that vtec lark .

SC is bad for fuel.

Mine also has to idle rich otherwise stalls and on full boost it also runs rich to prevent det. It stinks as a result but also goes like stink. Hard work to get through emissions though I may bung OEM cat on this year and see (I use a high flow or nothing for err test days)
though I would go to jail trying to match Mr Buggy

Knobbly tyres and pushing mud all the time are a little rough when it comes to drag!

Although we built a 5L V10 buggy once and had to leave fuel cans at the side of the road where the stages ended...
