    some generic tunes do run rather rich on the xr5, it aids cooling tho without becoming too rich.

    mine isnt slower

Over the last year, I've only had 7 counts of knock retard (and that was on a bad batch of fuel from Caltex after they had the total shutdown over Xmas and I had to get 91Ron mixed with 98Ron in Agnes Waters - fuel is $hit there), but in Brisbane, no fuel cut or stuttering, so I dont think theres a problem with my car. My 2.3ltr MZR motor has been top notch and has certainly behaved itself... For the record, the mileage i noted above was mostly highway driving. Squirting around town (stop start stop start at the lights), i'm lucky if I get 450km to a tank.

    And interms of guzzling, if I really cared that much, I wouldnt be buying a Subie Sti


    But who's counting

    After owning some radical rotaries in my younger days I don't a fyling continental about fuel...

    I owned a 2.6i 4WD Bravo with a 4" body lift and use to run 33" muddies and with a kerb weight of about 1800kg's and using high revs when 4wdriving fuel economy went out the window..

    If my 2 wasn't on a lease I would be conscious of when I buy fuel but I wouldn't drive any slower.......on the Cowra weekend away my 2 was loaded up with a little extra weight and consider I had to keep the MPS guys in sight so my average 6.3l went upto 7.5 so u can imagine that the 2 wasn't hanging around....

    If I buy a MPS 3 next it will be the extra zoom zoom I'm looking for....not the fuel bill
