MPG on modified Focus ST-225's?

[JezF]

I'm just wondering if anyone out there has one of the Wolf or GGR kits and what effect it has had on fuel consumption? I am thinking in theory, that with fewer restrictions and better torque, the mpg should improve, unless you are booting it constantly.

I have heard that Bluefin alone will increase fuel consumption and I don't really want that as it's hardly good as standard!

Cheers,

Jez

I have recently bought an ST to develope some software upgrades to go with various hardware options that I already stock for its Volvo cousins.

Presently, I am running with a Ferrita downpipe with Kemira 100 cel cat and stainless cat back plus a larger intercooler and have a very reliable 279bhp measured on the new Torque of the Devil Dyno Dynamics machine in Uxbridge just two days ago. I had to make a hurried journey to Bognor Regis from North London very early this morning and recorded 26.5mpg overall. My understanding is that is not a bad figure....I too would be interested in other experiences with modified ST's.

Mine has given 24-25 mpg over the last 11K. Half of that was with bluefin and it made no difference whatsoever. Even if you try really hard to get a high mpg figure (coasting down inclines etc), you still won't do better than 30 mpg.

Just one of those things, I'm afraid!
