That's really good economy.
U must do heaps of highway Ks if that's ur average speed.

Thanks.

Could be your o2 sensors getting old and lazy.

The stroked comment was for the Devil (Azazel).

What's the best way I can find out if my oxygen sensors are stuffed?

How much should they cost for the v6 alloytec?

Are they easy to replace myself?

Cheers.

I bought replacement front sensors 12 months ago off Ebay from a place in Melbourne @ Coburg Nth.

They were Bosch (same as genuine) & cost $130 @ for the front O2 sensors.

There are also two rear sensors, but they aren't normally the problem when it comes to fuel consumption from what I've been told. Cost for those is about $70 @.

As for installation - quick search here will find the info you need.

Was that $130 for both? Or each.

My exhaust is twin throughout the car. 2 cats, 2 mufflers, 2 resonators 2 exhausts. Double the trouble. Lol

Buy a OB2 canbus scantool with o2 diagnostics. Very cheap.

my vz sv6 does 9.8L when i drive like a grandad and when i drive like the p plater i am i get around 10.2L with an average speed of around 65km, thats running 98 octane

My sv6 has been as low as 7.8L/100km @ 100km/h, (obviously doing a lot of highway driving.) Now its sitting on 11.1L/100km @ 55km/h and thats with suspected low compression in 1 of the cylinders (i say suspected because i've had it checked, found and fixed a few potential problems but still has rough idle and havent had time to do a compression test.)

Mods: Mace CAI,
Full 2 1/4 Cat Back exhaust including Pacemaker Headers, high flow cats and mufflers
3.46 diff gears.

@ = each.

So I paid $260 for a pair of front O2 sensors. The rear O2 sensors are cheaper.

Just have a hunt on Ebay. I've seen them as low as $110 @ but I bought Bosch which GM just rebadge as genuine 'Holden' parts.

175kw alloytec ute is getting 10.5L/100km at an avg of around 49km/h. A mix of gandpa and 'spirited' driving... That being said it's improved since i put brand new NGK laser platinum spark plugs in last w/e...before that I couldnt get it below 11L/100km. Have 100,000 kms on the clock.
