I recently put mine in and shazzam, my fuel economy dropped significantly. Anyone have any numbers? I used to get around 300-350km's per tank, it holds 60 litres. I put 40 litres in the other day and it was empty at 138 km's, :(

Thats a big difference. I was averaging 15 ish mpg, the new numbers suggest 11 ish.

My fuel mileage with the S2 cam was good. I can't recall my normal around town mileage, but when I drove to SDAC 14 I got awesome mileage on the highway. Keeping it around 120kn/h I was able to do over 700km's on a tank which is 52l I believe.

Hahahahaa, maybe, :eyebrows:

But seriously, I have been driving to work and hockey and drive it as I normally do but its thirsty.

On the highway, it feels better, it floats at 100-120 and vacuum is 10 inches so that should be slightly better but most of my driving is around town.

I burned thru 40 litres with the new cal and got over 200 k's, can't remember the exact number. :thumb:


I was just curious if anyone noticed any difference, guess after tonight, if it doesn't rain, I will fill it up and do a full gas tank test.

Around town & to work which is 50km's round trip(35% hwy), I can usually get 400km's no problem & if it's been a slow week, 500km's. When I do drive my SC, most often than not, not a day go's by it doesn't see redline :)
