Fuel economy

it depends on your driving alot if you drive like a grandma then you should get 500+kms out of a tank n o problem but if you dont the you give it a bit of peddel then expect the ecomomy to be around 350-450kms per tank

 

Is it a V8 or V6? 15L/100k's is a lot for a V6. There's something wrong.

 

My SS is sitting on 12.9ltr/100km with an average speed of 40.8km/h

 

i am getting 12.4ltr/100km my average speed is around 30km/h all around town driving and i am a kinder heavy footed driver

 

there would be a faulty sencor me thinks most probaly the oxy

 

Actually there is something to worry about. If it is a faulty oxy sensor it will be causing excessive fuel comsuption. Before you go replacing them, change the oil, and replace the plugs, leads and air filter. Also run a bottle of injector cleaner with the next tank of fuel. Get a can of "maf cleaner" from supercheap and pull out the maf sensor and spray all the crap out. All these things you should do when you buy a car, reguardless of your fuel issue. If the fuel issue still exists after this then replace the oxy sensors.

 

oxygenb sensors have a service life
THEY DONT LAST FOREVER
heated o2 sensors (IN YOUR CAR) last 160,000km's aprrox

but it sounds like you just need a good tune up you know? plugs air filter fuel filter then check it again after resettting it in your mode set instrument menu!~

off topic here SOOP thats pretty farrin good man espec if got some mods

 

lol, leaky arsed exhuaust system, buggered radiator and a slip in 1st

 

yean soop but most of my customers would like that fuel economy maybe you should fix that stuff to better match your engines good internals!~

 

It depends on your drivind and if you have dual fuel is the 15L on petrol or gas.

On a trip i can get my VY manual JUST into the 7L/100 (my car has most if not all the bolt on bits) but if im just doing city driving or trips around my local area it will get over 15L easy

 

When I'm lapping about in the city I can see as high as 16L/100km. Country roads i get 6.5-7.5L/100km pretty easy.

 

get everything checked out mate, as all the others have said before me....my economy with a bigger intake and hi flow filter is between the 11-12's round town when i drive like a granny, around 15 if i dont and less than 7 on a highway drive! so thats really a long way out!

 

air filter is a piece of cake mate. just open up your airbox and replace the filter. wouldnt have a clue bout the fuel filter sorry. im assuming its a bit more harder then that haha
