Consumption economy Fuel average liters Km

[CAPRILICIOUS WL]

Hey everyone, I hope this helps alot others.

Whats is your fuel consumption economy / average liters Km on a VZ 6cyl Alloytec or stato / caprice (heavier)

Mine is an 05 Wl caprice 6Cyl using
16.6L/100km @ av 29km/h.

I drive like a grandpa thou, lol.
Not that bad but I never thrash it at.
Just normal driving.

Things done so far: (excluding performance mods*)
- BMC panel filter is clean.
- Plugs have recently been changed.
- Fuel filter recently replaced.
- Always running 98 octane.
- Have already added a injected cleaner.
- Throttle body + intake manifold cleaned.
- Coolant changed.
-12mm mace insulators installed*

Iv got pacemaker extractors n a 2 1/4 catback.

Indeed Every lil mod helps, I just need to get my LPG retuned but before it , I'm getting the ss induction and the 20% under drive pulley kit.

Hopefully my fuel consumption decreases after the tune cause it's sitting pretty high.

Not sure if those figures are average but on my previous car (WL STATO) it was much lower @ around 11.5L/100km at the same ave speed.

She's a 2004 Wl CAPRICE 3.6L 190KW on 135,000 Km.

Why's the difference?

What's yours like???
And any advice?

Cheers
Dave.

I have a VZ Executive 175 kw 4-speed auto, completely stock. Drive a mixture of city and highway driving on a daily basis. Plenty of city driving on the weekends. Fuel consumption is around 10.5 - 11.0 L/100 km. As for my driving style? Well, I don't like to hang around.

This 'grandpa' style driving you're referring to could be causing that very high fuel consumption. I used to go very easy, barely past 1500 rpm back then - 13.0 L/100km. After shoving in the boot a bit, pushing it around 2000 - 2500 rpm, my fuel consumption went down to as low as 10.5 in the city! Also try to maintain a constant speed as much as possible, I drive nearly all the time with cruise control, city and highway.

My 04 vz exec v6 gets 13.5 around town ,doesn't matter how I drive it thats why I can't wait to get rid of the POS....

That's quite alot. I get about that with similar driving from my 8. Check for fuel leaks

My Crewman uses 18.6 (highway) to 24.2 (city) on average. Though that said my engine is far from stock, its been stroked to just under 4ltrs on the 175 Alloytec, thats the main reason I would attribute it to being fuel hungry.

Edit: Its the 6 Speed, and I drive it like its stolen.

Yo Caprilicious, your fuel consumption is extremely malicious.

What consumption do you get on LPG?

A stroked Alloytec.....? I call shananigans.

Not one of you guys has mentioned what your average kph is to get those quite extrordinary figures for city driving.
Without comparing your L/100klm with your average speed your fuel figures mean nothing, they are just a number.
My LS2 auto does 17.5-19.5L/100klm wth average speeds 23-26kph city driving does around 13-14@ 35-45kph suburbs driving and 9.5-11 @ 70-85kph country driving.

* Yo Caprilicious, your fuel consumption is extremely malacious.*

Lol that's rhymes.

My fuel consumption on LPG is about 400ks out of a 65L of gas.

N I didnt understand the third part. Lol

Thanks for the detailed info

Comparing:
Ur LS2 auto does 17.5L/100klm @ 23km/h
with mine
L67* v6 doing
16.6L/100km @ 29km/h,

This data proves that there is something wrong with my consumption as it is near the same as the usage of an 8cyl.

Referring back to the OP, what do you guys think may be the problem?
What else do I need to look at?

Cheers
Dave.

Could be your o2 sensors getting old and lazy.

The stroked comment was for the Devil (Azazel).
