2,000 miles and not a drop of water
I have had to add 0 water in the water injection tank in the 2,000 miles I've driven my car. Is that normal?

In ~600 miles of mostly canyons I used about 1/2 a tank of water, averaged ~12mpg. In 67 miles of lapping I used ~2/3 of a tank of water, and 3/4 a tank of gas, averaged 6.4mpg per the trip computer. Car dinged constantly about low water level for the last 3 laps. I forget the exact conditions, but I think it only injects water above 5,000rpm and WOT.
Fill it full and beat on it for 25-50 miles. If you don't see water levels drop, time to visit the dealership. There are several threads about the water injection system filter, and I believe a revised valve block. |

Have you checked the stone water filter? First 1,000 miles I didn't see any change in water level. After I replaced the clogged filter the car used half a tank of water the next 1,000 miles just driving in the city.

I had the same concern. Had the dealer check when the car was in to have the hood adjusted - no problem found. I think I just need to drive a title harder - tough to do on the roads I drive
