- VE Berlina 2007
Hi
I have a Holden Berlina VE 2007 with about 77k on the clock at August 2014 (so it's only 7 years old). It's the standard 3.6l V6 petrol engine supposedly at combined fuel economy of 11.0L/100km.
I'm getting anywhere between 17L / 100km to 18L / 100km and I think it's just wrong - surely I should be getting better fuel consumption figures?.
- I do short trips to and from work, I understand this worsens fuel economy
- I don't have anyone else in the car, so the load is light
- I don't always use air conditioning sometimes yes, sometimes no
- I drive like a grandpa so I definitely don't floor it ever and try to drive very smoothly
I've had a carbon flush and this hasn't improved anything. Even highway driving doesn't seem to impact this significantly.
Does anyone have any ideas??
Thanks
