hello all.
me and my partner both own CTR's same age and near on same milage except mines red and her's is black.
we both travel to and from lincolnshire area from bedfordshire (100 miles) and have been discussing how she manages to get more miles from a tank than i do. she says she can get to and from lincs on just over half a tank and im getting nearly a full tank on the same roads and same mileage. it never bothered me before because i thought it was down to my driving. so i decided to get one up on her and drive real eco to see how much fuel i could save on a trip to lincs and back.
not much different to my earlyer normal driving fuel consumption maybe saved 1/32 of a tank of fuel witch is still higher than her results.
we both needed to go to lincs at the same time but instead of sharing one of our cars we decided to take both to prove our points. filled up the tanks and off we went, the whole journey there and back i followed behind her sticking to her speeds and her driving tecnique witch arn't to different to my own and when we arrived back home we compared fuel. she wasn't fibbing just under half a tank and mine was nearing the fuel light position.
both cars are well maintained and have no obvious faults ive checked for fuel leaks but nothing and its passed it's m.o.t emissions test every time, plus she has crap in her boot and mine is always empty.
is there a problem with my CTR or is hers somehow magicly advanced???
any advice? thanks.
