You cant accuratly measure how many miles you do for a tenner anyway, the only way to do it is to fill it up, run it for however long, then fill it up again.

yea am getting 70 to 80 from an r reg 1.4 8v high tourqe just normal driving av got powerflow cat back system with dual exit twin 4inch pipes and pipercross filter. i put an ecotec valve on but just makes loads of noise so i closed it off.. surley i should be looking at 100ish i get 240 miles to £30 £90p a litre.. surley it should be more.. so looks like trying to re set ecu or new lambda sensor

yes mate, probably either lambda or coolant temp sensor. maybe even map sensor as well, but its unlikely as these usually cayse poor engine running as well.

lambds is usualy £35 and cts sensors are about £10.
