Redditch Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) I'm suprised how economical my Frontera sport is, even though it's a 2.0i PETROL, but as they say, 90% of fuel consumption is in the right foot. Seriously though, to get decent fuel consumption you'll have to go the diesel route, and a newer 2.0 or 2.2 will probably give the same bhp and torque as a 2.5 or 3.0 liter motor of a few years back, but with much better fuel consumption with it Edited November 28, 2011 by Redditch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_evil Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'd prefer a strike that makes the government cut down on the pointless taxes they;ve put on fuel We have some of the cheapest pre-tax fuel in the EU the the government take a huge cut, also if we were to leave the EU it'd save us plenty of money thusly we could lower taxes........we don't even use the euro and its jsut a huge drain IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be lucky and get a bit more than 10 those upgraded 1505 carbs are good and you're in a 90 not a 110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshLamb Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 10 was a rough guess!! My last V8 - Range rover classic, 3.9L with overfinch bits - used to average about 10mpg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
