petrol

I have an l67 and it uses a decent amount of fuel. At idle in park qhen warm uses 1.9-2.2l per hour on the display and in drive uses 2.2-.2.6l per hour. I've read it's meant to read around 1.6? What things could effect my idle usage? I think idle usage pretty much reflects driving usage which is...

Hi All, I’m new on the VZ block and was hoping to get some help or pointed in right direction PLEEEAASEE???! So I brought my 2005 VZ Acclaim last week off a very shady appearing seller (lol!) car was cheap looked good condition n I needed a car ASAP so ignored my gut when it was telling me to...

I purchased an Automatic VY Holden Commodore last week for $800. At first, it was overheating a lot. It would constantly stall and no longer start for a while. A mechanic jump started the car and said that it'll briefly run (for no more than five minutes) before the metal expands again. Upon...

Hey all, First post here. Not car savvy but I've driven Commodores my entire life. This is my third car, and the first time I've run into issues. I bought it for $800 and it runs on petrol and gas. When I first bought the car, it was overheating. I didn't realise at the time, so I took it for...

EXAMPLE : today when i arrived at the petrol station my distance to empty read 34KM...

Has anyone here had petrol leaking around the fuel tank on a VT sedan? Pulled into the car park at work this morning (relatively hard left turn) and once I got out I smelt fuel. Looked under the tank and it was dripping with fuel. Ive got about 1/4 tank in there. I'm pretty sure it only happened...

Hi guys Bought my '03 VY SS S2 about 2 months ago, very happy with the jump from a 180sx to this (so far) As I said above, I owned a jap import for over 4 years and wanted something different but for the main purpose of carrying a trail bike, so forgive me because my V8 / commodore...

Hey all, Just sort of confirming what im thinking. I took my car out this morning after it had been sitting there for about 3-4 months and i drove down the road then turned around to come back (as it was just to test the car) and it stalled on me, when i tried to restart it just kept dry...

Hey all, i have a 95 VS calais on factory LPG and Petrol. I'm having an issue with the petrol that i cannot figure out. When driving the car on petrol it runs fine until around 3000-3500rpm when the engine cuts out very harshly completely dropping down to pretty much 0 rpm and sometimes stalls...

Hi Guys, First Timer Here! I hope anyone may have some suggestions please *crosses fingers* VX Aclaim Series 2.. Took to Midas for a major service which was due. But had no prior complaints before hand. Come back and the car backfires, which i guess is normal for gas conversions on the...

Hi Everyone, I've had a really annoying prolem with my VT which started not long after I had the LPG system fitted. The car will usually start OK, and I can drive off, but get say 100m down the road and it just goes dead. No cough and splutter, just stalls. If I knock it into neutral and turn...

G'day, I have a '98 series 3 v6 vs ute. ive had it for about 3 months and from what the books say it has been well looked after. it has approx 172 000 ks on the clock and is in bloody good nick. there is one problem though that i was wondering if anyone has ever heard of anything similar...

So which service stations do you patronise most? Is it one of the big names like Shell, Caltex or BP or a local mom and pop servo? Is BP fuel that much better? I mostly buy from Shell or Caltex.

Help. I have a 1999 Commodore VSIII S pack auto ute (3.8L) with 94 000 klms on it. It is currently burning 14.5L/100klms. Which is killing me given the disgraceful fuel prices, I am sadly looking at getting rid of it for an oil burner. It has just had a major service and is still burning too...
