That's pretty good,
Before I changed my oxy sensors I reckon I was getting about 450km out if a tank.

Ignore the figures on the dash showing averages. I've been getting about 11.5 l per 100 km. Thats a combination of city/highway and about 1 tank per week - generally only 65 liters going in on a refil (suspect gauge doesn't quite read right). I use an iPhone app to record when I fill up and the distance, price etc.

The only way to establish what the car is really doing with economy is to track the fuel usage over a period of time. Generally your driving will be the same week to week in terms of distance, traffic encountered, route etc. So the best thing to do is monitor how often you fill. Ridiculous figures for economy indicate an issue - good pickup with the sensor replacement.

I've seen new VZ's getting average of 12 others with average of 16. Similar drivng techniques and distances etc. Holden were of the belief it was within tolerance and therefore not an issue. The cars didn't change over the 4 years we ran them - some were good, some were bad.

I've found the Caprice runs much smoother and more economically than the poverty pack I drove for the previous 4.5 years. I put this down to increased power and a 5 speed transmission.

My wifes 2006 VZ V6 wagon is reading 10.3L per 100km with an avg speed of 64.7km. Has been down to 9.6L on long highway trips (fully loaded). My old mans stock VZ V6 ute sits around the 10.5L per 100km with an avg of about 85km, only because of the hilly/winding roads and the way he drives them. Lift the right foot abit and it has dropped down to 9.7L with avg of 80km.

Reading some of the highway figures, and im shocked! When I was doing high way runs and a little town driving, id be getting from 8.2 to 8.4 L/100km at an avg speed from around 68km/h to 80km/h.
