Title: So first 2 Tanks done.
Post by: Spy007 on October 23, 2012, 16:44:41: Ok so first 2 tanks of feul done and The consumption is not bad but even driving gently i am still strugglig to get it down. :fum:

So Just asking if K7N filter might be worth while and if it would really make a difference.

I am still trying different brands here to c the effect and I know it will take a few more tanks but currently getting 9LHK.

Any Advice and suggestions???

Still LOVE THE CAR.

Post by: Doggie 1 on October 30, 2012, 00:24:10: Another good tip I was given to reduce fuel consumption in your i30, is to buy another car (maybe a V8 :undecided:) and drive that one more.
By leaving the i30 parked up a lot I've found I don't go through the tanks quite as quickly.
Plus it gives you the added bonus of keeping the kms down as well. :D
