c1 = 13 bar
c2 = between 12.5 - 13 bar
c3 = 12.5 bar

Going back to the start of the post... I replaced the CTS on my car but it made no noticable difference to my MPG |

30mpg round town yeah. should get 40mpg easy up to abont 80mph on the motorrway. Around 50mph nearly 60mpg on the computer.
you need someone to look at the thing,. or just get another engine etc |
