Fuel Saving

Hi all,

Does anyone know if fuel saving techniques like short shifting actually work in F3?

Thanks,
Noodle

As they haven't modelled Fuel i would guess no.

a solution is buy fuel pack thing and weight reduction kits make it light as possible

In Forza 2 Myself and Tak used the same car with the same tune in a touring car race. I ran out of fuel half way through the last lap, he didn't (He had to push me across the line

)

I had been running slightly faster laps than him, so there must've been some sort of fuel modelling. However I tested the usual fuel saving methods (running at lower revs, short-shifting) and found no difference. The only thing it could therefore have been was 'amount of time on throttle'.

Might be worth trying to 'coast' a little more if you're trying to save fuel.

yea don't go full throttle all the time and the more tyre ware the more fuel ya use i think

the fuel kit i forgot the name but theres a fuel upgrade erm think its the ECU chip upgrade not to sure
