[QUOTE="Lee36328, post: 308958, member: 113"] Batista_beast, The best thing to tune for FC is to tune down your right foot. How you drive makes a big difference in FC, even more so with our cars' adaptive ecu which learns and adjusts the fuel injection amount continuously as we drive. Other FC factors: - Maximise: - efficiency of the systems - intake (make sure no leak), combustion (engine in good condition), transmission (gearbox in good shape), electrical (check - are you getting a constant 13 volts when driving?) - maximize Minimize: - weight - resistance (tire pressure as Slide said) - drag (load) on the systems - aircond, hifi... - wasted energy, e.g. stopping and starting in heavy traffic Optimum speed for FC is about 80 kph. The 328 comes with a fuel consumption indicator - reduce your right foot pressure until the needle is at a minimum while maintaining car speed. Slide is getting 14 litres/100 km. With all his mods, his car will be delicious to drive, so I'm sure his right foot is pretty aggressive. I on the other hand, am stingy when it comes to fuel, so when I am careful, I can get 11-12 litres/100 km. When the mood hits me, it gets up to 13 litre/100km. [/QUOTE]
