Hi!
Which percentage have you noticed with the new pulley ?
I fitted the Alta -17% and imho the car has a +15% consumption in the city .
Your opinion ?

Ant FR · Jul 10th, 2007, 06:18 PM

i wish, cos i use my right fot more i think the fuel economy has got worse...lol

i know when i am city driving my consumption goes to crap because i like to race everyone off at the lights hehe.

My overall tank economy on combined driving is far better since my 15% altta pulley. I did my sparts at the same time so not sure if thats what actually helped. I now get around 250 miles from a tank where before i was getting 220 if lucky

My consumption got better as well with a 15% and new plugs.

I get 300-330 miles out of a tank. No pulley fitted - does it improve consumption?

Minipnut · Jul 11th, 2007, 12:50 PM

DaFlake · Jul 13th, 2007, 06:24 AM

I should say that it is only better if I keep my foot off the gas!
