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

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