I hv had the car for a year...for the last 11 mnths ...on an average it gave me 550 kms at full tnk...since the last 1 mnth or so...i noticed shes js drinkin petrol... 400 to 450 is all i gt
this thread is jokes...a simple lip will not generate that much downforce(drag) to affect you almost 100KM per tank...i am putting my money on you need to either perform a routine maintenance on your car of your MAF is dirty...so try this trick...
1. disconnect positive terminal on your battery...
2. remove and clean your MAF with electronic sprayer(canned air)...located near along your intake tube...
3. reconnect all components....
presto it should be better...although note that disconnecting the battery will reset your ECU so your clocks and such need to be reset...also if you drive an automatic your car may need a little bit of driving for it to re-learn your driving habit but you should see significant improvement...otherwise bring ur car to a mechanic and have them do a check....100km's is a lot...i dnt think race cars even fuel economy change that much with a lip spoiler...sorry for being mean but I stil cnt stop lol'ing...good luck
