S2 fuel economy?
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.

.......and that just COULDN'T be from the amount of time your foot spends on the go pedal, now could it?
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.
didnt you just get a new cal too? that could be the culprit!

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.
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.

The REST of the world!What kind of madman measures fuel in liters?
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
