Gas consumption increasing?

triggz · 11-02-2010, 10:27 AM

Ever since I had my AR downpipes and quad exhaust installed i've noticed that my gas consumption is increasing. I also switched from map 5 to map 7. Has anyone else experienced this?

Sorry, I can't answer your question. But, can you switch back to map 5 to isolate the increase to the map change or mods?

well the more boost you run the more you will consume gas.... jb3 is also known to use lots of gas.

Maybe it's because you drive it harder with your new found power that is causing the increased gas consumption

I'm sure it sounds better now as well... and you probably like to hear it...... Right foot = more sound = more gas.

ya i also noticed the car doesnt feel the same.....you really have to push down the pedal to go fast, then the rpm shoots to 5-7k like crazy....its very difficult to time it properly
