Just trying to get a feel but it seems since the temperatures have dropped, my supercharged is averaging 9.5 mpg ?!? Unsure if thats expected or exceptionally high. I reset weekly and all my mileage is local as a guide..

I usually see a drop of a couple of mpg in cold weather. I put this down to the FBH running on short journeys. About 20mpg currently.

You all should get better fuel economy in cold weather as all internal combustion engines run more efficiantly on colder densor air, that is why intercoolers where introduced,even petrol engines like colder densor air. 10 TDV8 Santorini |

Wow.... almost double my current ! I've found turbocharged petrol cars to me more economical and quicker in the cold weather, but never found the same to be true with N/A engines, and this is my first supercharged engine. Only one supercharged figure so far ? Why?.. Because i can....
