   is this good or poor, no thrashing about or nothing just normal driving.
   my manifold is blowing from a gasket (ordered part should able to fit it soon)
   would this affect fuel intake? as its before the lambda sensor? and also would a hole in the air intake pipe (some chav before done this) effect it also?
   thanks in advance

   20 quids about 17 litres so (150/17)*4.55= about 40mpg
   
   i get between 38 and 45 mpg depending how/where im driving in mine.

    I got 15miles to half a tank on my 1.1.
    
    My VTR does more, not sure how much but half a tank lasts a week of going to work and back lol. (About 14miles each way)
    
    And you have a hole in your Air Intake? That will mess it up because it will suck in dirt stuff... So your air filter is ineffective...

    I read this post yesterday so decided it was a challenge i was driving as careful as I could and behind lorry's for the slip stream effect and keeping at 3k revs in 5th gear i managed to get 314 miles from 20quid its bloody hard work though and i got really bored.
