Hi all,
I've recently noticed that the fuel consumption in my 2004 VZ Calais has been pathetic. I'm averaging 300-400 kilometers per tank, and according to the l/100km it works out to be 15-17 litres. I remember when I first bought the car I was averaging 600-800 kilometers on a tank, even more when I did country/highway driving. Even got it down to 9l/100km. I get that it's a big car and all that, but surely this can't be right. I run it on 98 too. Oh, and the engine is the Alloytech 190 V6.
Any suggestions as to why this is?
Many thanks,
Nicholas
