Congrats.. you just paid $18 to make your car (that already runs massively rich from the factory) run even richer!

Umm.. you dont understand the relationship of air and fuel mixtures do you? You have purchased something that is effectively going to make you car run like the choke is on. Great in cold start ups but it will drown it in fuel when its warm.

As for fuel economy of my car..... I'm guessing you are new around here

some people on here [ford forum] need to chill (take the red pill), not pointing @ anyone inparticular .... I realise that most have vast knowledge and experince and have heard it all before, but man o man, sometimes people don't wanna post a question becuase they get flamed.

I wonder if its an internet thing, say OP joined a club, and asked a fellow member, wonder if IRL you'd get treated as such??

i think text is a misguided form of communication, things get taken out of perspective and meanings lost, mis-interpretted etc etc

oh well.

I really need to get up with the times, the poor old English language is really getting a belting these days, must be those rich fumes doing it.

Will re-open the thread when fuel prices reach 1.97L.
