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?
