Worst i was getting in my LS1 (exhaust and SS inductions CAI) was 17.9 that was with poked O2 sensors, poked spark plugs and at least 2 buggered OEM leads. Have put new Holden recommended sparks in, MSD leads, new O2's and recently thoroughly cleaned my pod filter. Around town and highway driving is seeing me get 14.9/15.0 on average.

Ok so this was about 200km into the journey. Sat on 110kmh cruise controll the whole time. Air com running on one. Few overtaking maneuvers. And I'm not subtle when I take someone on the highway. Foot flat to the floor.

Simple answer : too much.
9.5 is lowest I've had country driving
20.2 highest I've had being a hoon.
Stock ecotec ute. (V6)
It's on 13-14 normally. I have a "spirited" driving style tho so it's my fault I have had it down to 11 nanny driving round town. I don't do burnouts ever as I do love my ute.
