hi can sum 1 plz advise me on roughly what mileage u can acheive on the 4.6 to the gallon as i dont think mines right thanks
M-way cruising or around town?? What`s wrong with your fuel consumption? Not consuming enough?
Obviously no two engines or driving styles will give identical results.
Regular changes of the air filter, I change mine every 6000 and spark plugs helps considerably. I use 10-40 Valvoline mineral oil and also inspect breather hoses for damage. The tyre pressures, which can have a bearing on fuel consumption, I keep at 34 front and 34 rear.
Don't forget that in spite of the suspension lowering feature, the P38 is still as aerodynamic as a brick !!
Irish, Rave says pressures should be at 28 front, 38 rear.
I've got grabbers on mine - would 34 all round be an advantage on these?
Edit - Message to self - read all posts before making an idiot of yourself by repeating what others have just said!!!

At last someone with figures similar to mine!!!Interesting and worrying..
I am not getting anywhere near these readings according to my computer. Mine is saying 7.5 mpg around town and 13.5 on a run..
Tyres 34psi all round and recently serviced..
My daily mileage to work is only 2.5 miles each way..
Are these computers accurate?
I didn't expect the fuel consumption to be so poor even though I knew what I was letting myself in for, but did expect a bit better than what I am getting!
My rangie has been converted to springs.. Does this have that much to do with my obvious problem?
Advice please?
