      You can't be tracking it right. There's no possible way a 1.6l gets 17mpg unless there's a huge problem with the fuel injection system.


      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.

      who are you to say they aren't tracking it right?

      It doesn't take a rocket scientist to calculate gas mileage. I've seen at least 5 people of various websties complaining of the exact same gas mileage.

      An ECU re-learn should fix the problem. It sounds like it's running pig rich for no reason. There is no reason it should be running like that, so it's an error with calculation or an electrical error.

      I'd say there's a huge difference between driving on the track and driving in the city. I don't care how hard anyone says they "push it."

      i was agreeing with you that there is no way you can be getting 17 mpg daily driving when you get 17 mpg at the track
