    for the coolant sesnor, I really doubt it.. But, it wouldnt surprise me..

    How many K's do you get to a Full Tank of Fuel?

    If you chewing a lota fuel..
    Check your Pannel/Pod Filter & clean it!
    Throw Some Fuel Injector Cleaner in (Before filling up for Fuel)


    If you car Back Fires, its running to rich .. Which can cause Fuel Loss

    More info if you can please , then you will defiantly get an answer

    arent you meant to put fuel injector cleaner into a full tank? not before filling?

    im getting about 200-250km to a full tank without booting it
    im guessing its the o2 sensor aswell, but one of my mates who is a mechanic told me it was the coolant sensor

    I wouldn't put that additive crap in my engine AT ALL. If you want clean injectors, have them taken out and cleaned properley and then flow tested.

    The only things that go through my engine are coolant, air and fuel. And water when it gets a flush.


    I would say change your O2 sensors and then report back if your fuel economy doesn't improve.
