Below is fuel consumption analysis of 5-day road trip I did in my Peugeot 505 ST weeks ago (30/09/2025 - 04/10/2015)

- 2.0 XN1A Engine, 5MT, 4.1 final drive ratio, A/C mostly on, Power Steering, About 100 - 150 kg items in the boot and cabin floor, Electric Fan for Radiator/Engine cooling, 75° Thermostat for Engine/Radiator, 15" Alloy Wheels, 10w-40 Engine Oil, Double Barrel/Progressive Carburettor, etc.

- The 1st 200 km covered in the trip (Abuja - Lokoja): The car consumed about 15 litres of petrol, on average of 100 km/h on smoother part of the highways.

- The 1st 455 km covered in the trip (Abuja - Enugu), the fuel consumption was approximately 45 litres (mixed driving due to terrible bad road conditions, keeping the car mostly in gear 1 and 2 for over 4 hours drive out of 10 hours drive).

- Total distance covered in the road trip was 1,243 km. Total amount spent on fuel is N148,000, with approximately 35 litres of petrol remaining in the fuel tank at the end of the trip. Average price per litre of fuel purchased was N900.

To conclude, any human that tells you tomorrow that double barrel carburettors like the Solex Z1 34-34 on the 2.0 Carburettor Engines (XN) in 504s and 505s are fuel guzzlers are either they are Liars or ignorantly deceiving the ignorant or curious ones. My Chinese copied newly purchased double barrel carburettor doesn't work optimally as the genuine ones does, with regards to fuel economy, yet it performed beyond my expectations.

One area 505 shine is in journeys. But with the configuration of mine, expect a never forgetful memorable experience on the road.
