issue whit fuel consumtion

paicapo · 03-02-2015, 02:28 PM

I'm going on a road trip to the alps in Austria, reinstalled my racechip for better fuel consumption during the trip, now when I have driven about 80 mils (European miles) I have a average fuel consumption of 1 liter per mile about 3,76 mpg in NA metrics. I'm a bit surprised because I remember I use to get like 0,7 - 0,8 mpl or 3.03 mpg NA before I installed RC. Don't now if racechip have caused sot or something on the injectors or I just remember the consumption wrong?? What are you guys getting? Should add that I been driving only highway so far in speeds of 140km/h about 87 mph

paicapo, do you really mean 3mpg, 3 miles per gallon?

Doesn't sound right to me, more like 30mpg

.

I easily get 30-35 mpg (imperial gallons) in mine at highway speed (70-80mph) without having to try very hard.

Yes sorry, online converter... I'm at 26.8 mpg and been driven 100 eu miles, does that make sense??

So that we all speak the same efficiency numbers....:http://www.markporthouse.net/rangie/...conversion.htm

Would be great to get both of you to provide input in this thread where I am building a database of fuel efficiency by engine type and driving mode: http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1081659. There is one chipped record in the data, and it is impressive.

That makes much more sense

At my current RaceChip setting, I am getting an average (the last time I looked - about a month ago) of 1 1/2 mpg less than stock. In fact, I'm very close to yours if you are talking about mixed highway and city driving. On highway driving, I have to use the cruise control at 70-75 mph to get 33-ish mpg. If I don't use cruise control and drive normally, which is 75-80 mph on highway, I get 29-30 mpg.

Posted mpg are highway only, seems a high don't you think?
At home whit RC plugged in I got about 25 mph mixed driving and now I get 26.8 whiteout RC and on highway only??? it seems RC provides better fuel consumption or there is something wrong whit my car or both

Setting too high ?

I have average consumption (mostly drive in the city): 16.5 ltrs per 100 km
Which is imperial mpg: 17.12
US mpg: 14.25
P.S. No race chip (or other devices) installed.
