You've been done.

Such things may work briefly (and enrich mixture), but the engine managament will soon notice its overfuelling, and trim it back.

hi  robg  /  all

 fuel  round town appox 25
motorway           appox 34

 thinking i jumped in the wrong end of the pool with the 2.5

 may now look at swapping for a facelifted 2.0 to save money ?
             thanks for replies      maybe i should have asked first instead of buying the fuel saver first ?  never mind

As RobG says, the 4 pots still have more or less the same weightto lug around.
Your V6 consumption doesn't sound too bad to me. My 3.0 normally sits at the very low 20's mpg
