so do you think that would explain the vast increase in fuel? the fact that the tyres are softer AND larger?? would make sense

I think your question has been answered ....

Sorry, carnt be arsed to read it all so this might be out of place.

Your tyres are larger so your speedo will show you getting less miles than you actually are. This means it appears you are getting 15% mpg less than you actually are but it is just an illusion, adjust the consumption 15% upwards or adjust the mileometer to read accurately. Also MT's will add about 7-10% (depending on how you drive) to the consumption. Also heavier wider tyres will increase drag which may increase consumption a bit. So part of your increased consumption is real due to increased friction, and part of it is an illusion.

thant and the fact that the tyres are soft would that increase the consumption a lot?

 

[Oddie]

yup! if it int hard it won't perform!

 

[goonarmy]

And yer speedos could be out cos of the tires size change.Also like odd sed greater drag from the increased tire size can effect yer speed.

excellent, thanx for the info guys i think this is the problem, softer bigger tyres
