Re: free wheeling hubs, part two
I would expect somewhere around 30mpg on motorway.
Even if your not getting better mpg, they are still a benefit as they reduce stress on the drive train when not in 4wd.

Re: free wheeling hubs, part two

Re: free wheeling hubs, part two
I managed 38mpg on the motorway out of mine on one trip with a 1.3. I'd fiddled and tweaked it in various ways though.

Re: free wheeling hubs, part two
When mine was still an F10a I used to get between 25-28mpg on 31s so it should get a bit more than that, I used to thrash mine everywhere as welldazerede wrote:It's becouse I have bigger tyres and also my right foot gets a bit heavey most of the time lol
