2 MPG? Noice.

it seems to be going back up the very end, maybe the sender at the front of the tank and the fuel surged to the back?

 

[MaLicE]

it drops pretty much 1/4 tank in a burnout... thats not 2mpg lol its prob less than that lol

 

[MaLicE]

tbh its prob got a couple lift pumps that suck the fuel out the tank and puts it in to a swirl pot and then another couple feed pumps to the fuel rails, so the fact it drops so quick will be down to the fuel pumps picking up quicker higher up the rpm....

They do suck for mpg, my 2 RX8 owning friends aren't impressed with 20mpg for what performance it gives.

Gaz. thats not exactly standard, its a 3rotor to start...

I didn't even watch the video. I'm just saying they're crap with fuel to start with.

On another note been trawling youtube for good car vids and get bored of the results when searching, completely forgot about street fire, any other good sites? thats the rest of my night taken up now haha.
