l200 classic upgrade for mpg

#1 by biggbn ( Guest ) , Tue Feb 02, 2016 5:43 pm

Hi, I have joined forum but awaiting confirmation email. Quick question. Just bought a 90K mile 2001 4life. I was wondering what, if any, difference the ralliart or other tuning chips have on mpg. I am road user only and drive light footed around 55mph. Would the upgrade help at these speeds or, as I don't NEED more power, am I best leaving well alone. Gbn

To be honest I dont think the chip makes much difference with the fuel consumption on these trucks. If you wanna save a few pennies use some veg oil in the tank, keep the tyres pumped up use road tyres too

2001-2002 was the change over take a look see if you have a cable operated accelerator and fuel pump
