- '96 S1 VS Exec
Hello all, just thought I would post something i've noticed with my '96 VS Exec,
Normally, because I'm poor >.<, I don't run with more than a 1/4 in the tank and my car feels sluggish. like the tourque converter takes a while to pick up and the transmission over all feels unresponsive.
And then, god bless, payday, striaght away $50 of easy earned money and at least a half full tank later, she comes alive! the transmission feels like it was reconditioned, then engine feels more gruff, the right foot takes effect!
but i dont get it. shouldnt 30+ KG of unleaded SLOW the car a tiny bit? not make it go like a rocket.
my only conclusion is with ample fuel in the tank the car doesnt struggle to pick petrol up and thus can deliver a full shot from the injectors, whereas on a low tank it gets into some form of economy mode?
anyone else get this?
