Gen F fuel consumption

[BartW]

I bought a more practical pickup for work 2016 F150 5.0v8 with supercrew cab and long bed got a borla atak exhaust too I'm sorted

Sounds much slower than a LSA Maloo!

[BartW]

Definitely not as quick But the sound it generates is addictive, plus it's massive, and gives all the benefits of a real pickup truck, let alone seats in the back, and payload

Strangely, it is better on fuel than the Gen F!

It's an import, so benefits from import vehicle RFL, and is better on fuel than my Gen F, assuming maloo would be similar

No such joy for me, I have to pay full whack due to some of them being badged as Vauxhalls lol.

Tell me about it... Just renewed the GTS RFL... £515!!! I think they keep putting the charges up every year by a few pounds....

Not sure how much help this will be, but here is the picture anyway.

Maloos benefit from cheaper RFL, if they are registered as goods vehicles, rather than cars.

Might be subjective, but I think I can get around 21mpg when doing steady 90mph.

That is about 300 miles to a tank, with a bit of a tweak to the tune you should see 320-350ish with a nice steady cruise

You checked your boost pressure yet?

Yes, I saw 62kpa, but that was at veeerryy considerable speed. As far as I remember around 130mph and going for it, when I was driving back to the country.


You got me interested about the map tweaks Going for its first service end of this month. So perhaps after that you might be having a busy weekend
