Good luck with the new car and wellcome to UB!
7.5km/ltr is ~ 17.6 MPG, and 9km/ltr ~ 21 MPG

Its good on the corners with the reduced weight of the smaller block. Its all about momentum....

Would be interesting to see your set up. I wonder how much more power you are getting than me. I ve read that it is a common misconception that turbos reduce the fuel consuption but you are getting more power. Maybe at the same power out-put a turbo'd engine uses less fuel but you are having to drive the turbo so maybe not.

Good luck with the new car and wellcome to UB!

Hi Kistoni,
Thanks for the inputs, appreciate it. Will monitor my consumption further and post the average km/L when it stabilizes.
Regards.

Thanks for the quick math Witeshark. And in your opinion, how does that rate relatively fare?
