My love of P+G is waning rapidly. On a full tank it seems to be hit and miss as to whether I’m gaining anything from it.
Taking a subjective point-to-point on the gauge of lets say 7/8 down to 3/4, in steady state running you get a consistent 60miles but with P+G I’ve managed 45. Then again between 5/8 to ½ it normally will do 76 miles yet with P+G I got 110. I thinks its all down to the rate of recovery in the pulse phase. Which is a skill and for me an incosistent one, I can’t argue it CAN help but My original idea for the car was to develop it do ‘anyone ‘ could drive it and get 50+ out of it. And from basic maintence that’s wholly plausable.

So…….. I’m going to ditch P+G :O

The next thing to do – is, I PROMISE, start modding
