super 6 fuel economy

[petergl67]

I am running 10 psi. Pacemaker extractors hi flow cats 2 1/2 twin into a sports luckey muffler. No cooler. I am only getting 340kms to a tank. Dose this sound right

I'd be happy with that if I were you.

Oh I thought I would get at least 430 to a tank thanks mate.

[HamaTime™]

I wouldn't settle for anything less than 345.6km's per tank.

[vt super6]

i get 500-550 out of my l67

[monkeys437]

I've got pulley, rockers and diff gears and I get comfortably 11.5L/100 (550ks from a tank) and I do a lot of stop start driving every day. Thats from the 70L statesman tank, but you should at least be getting 450ish if you have a 63L tank.

I usually get around 400k's out of my stato, usually averages around 14-17 litres per hundred k's depends how i drive.. but thats with it being driven occasionaly and not tuned yet.

[petergl67]

Thanks. I have only been using it every second to third day and i drive like a grandpa and only still get bad economy. When I drive it a bit harder I only lose 40-50kms. Do u think a Memcal and tune might get me some more ks to the tank

[shaune_m]

Drive my Calais every day and get around 450-500kms per tank and average around 14.5 L/per 100. City peak hour kills it but its great on the hwy. Thats with every bolt on + tune but with a manual box.
A new memcal should help fuel economy but depending on if its a generic tune or whether its a mail order (tuned to suit) style will influence what kind of result you will get

[petergl67]

Yer most of my driving is hwy no traffic as I am on site at 6.30 and finish at 2.30. I think it's drinking to much than it should. I am happy with performance but if I can't achieve more kms I will prob sell it. To expensive to run and I don't drive it much as my mrs drives it with the kids. Need something more fuel efficient

[fatbats]

Yeh even with the mods and hwy driving you should still probably get more k's.. Might as well ask but have you checked the usual culprits like oxy sensors and even plugs/leads? May be even worth checking to even see if there's build up on them first before replacing as well. I know oxy sensors on mine pretty much took the average fuel consumption down around 1-2 liters per hundred once replaced, and that was when I was still running 10 psi and similar mods to yours.

[immortality]

What model L67 do you have Pete

As mentioned already, the O2 sensors are a good possibility. What most people don't tell you is that the O2 sensor is a wearing item and need to be replaced every so often. 100,000-150,000km's is a good time in my book.

[petergl67]

I have a vt series 2 1999 super 6. I think sens might be a prob the engine light comes off and on and might be the prob what do u think

[monkeys437]

If the engine light comes on there should be a fault code stored. Do a search on checking fault codes and that should give you a starting point of things to check/replace

[MACE]

You'll need to sort this out (the electrical fault) as it's likely your main cause for compromised fuel economy

[petergl67]

Thanks for ur advise steve good meeting ya. U have time for ur customers and good advice. Will speck to you soon when I install the kit and will need the modular hub and a smaller pulley
