The main screen doesn't give you fuel usage per 100km, it will just give you a distance to empty reading in kilometres. If you hold the mode and up(^) button down together whilst starting and then use mode to scroll the so called hidden menu. From memory it gives u a voltage reading, engine temp in degrees, digital speed reading, how many litres of fuel are currently in the tank, and how much fuel is being injected per 100km
Thanks mate it says im using 18 l per hundred k's i take it thats bad so as is said before i have a 5.0 with ss induction and pace maker extracters as far as i know there are no other mods my friend says its out of tune a bit and she is due for a service what do you reckon cause fuel consumption is worse than my old vp clubby

i have a 98 vt ss 5 litre and comfortably see 600km give or take 20-30k's with a mix between flogging and cruising. That reading is how much fuel is currently being injected it is not an average, therefore if u are accelerating it will read higher than sitting at a constant speed. My average would be around 10-12l/100 doing a fair bit of stop start peak hour traffic with a heavy foot.
I don't know a great deal about engines, but i would suggest a major service, new fuel filter, get the injectors cleaned and have it tuned.
What Fuel are you using?
