Hi.
I've got a VT and have been getting very bad economy, there is no error codes.
The car chews up petrol like crazy even for just light highway driving.
The Engine is in very good condition, starts in one crank and has very good compression,
no smoke or anything like that. O2 Sensors are new.
in 50km of mostly highway driving, it used 1/4 of a tank up. The car was at 1/2 way when i began driving,
and then the gauge was at 1/4 when I traveled 50km.
Does the VT Fuel Guage normally begin going down much faster once it's reached a certain point? Other than that I'm not sure what could be causing it.
There is no misfiring or anything like that. Before I take it to an Auto Elec or EFI Specialist I just thought I'd ask if anybody else has had an issue like that.
Only other thing i could think of is a Fuel leak, can't smell anything but perhaps there may be some areas that are common faults?
It's a 1997 VT Wagon 3.8L V6
Cheers.
