what sort of fuel economy should you expect? judging by the listed specs for my model (stock MY02 bugeye) i should be getting about 10kms per litre but looking at my first full tank so far (just bought it) i will end up getting around 400-450.

though i have heard they run a bit rich.

hopefully an Apexi A/F metre will help sort that a bit.

Josh I had the same when my MAP sensor died. Of course it is a Bugeye but it may be worth taking a look. Also as said above. I was getting the same k's as you until i replaced the ECU and did a resinatorectomy. After those 2 mods I went from 480km to 600km everytime.

how is the A/F meter going to make you stop running rich ?

Josh did u get your last tank load of juice from the same servo than u usually get it from???

There is a lot of crap fuel out at the moment.... The chemicals there putting into the fuels now cause rapid burning, low performance and low km's per tank. I would recommend trying another servo and see how it runs.......
