The Gregory`s manual lists a whole range of possible causes for excessive fuel use. One fairly common cause is faulty oxygen sensors that don`t always show up as an engine management fault on the dash.

just wondering has anyone tried hi-clone or fuel star or any of those products claiming better fuel economy? because i would only buy something like that if someone actually reccomends it.

Hows it going guys.... Ive got a series 1 VS Acclaim and I dunno what this equates to but if I put $10 of fuel in the car I'll get about 100km out of it... All I have as far as mods go is a 2.5in Redback exhaust.
It seems that we all drive the same model car but either our driving style or maybe even the car itself could cause the fluctuating fuel usage.
Do you think its possible that two stock VS commodores driven exactly the same could produce varied fuel consumption?
Just a theory...

i got a manual vs 5ltr vs clubsport supercharged with 3.9 gears i get 15ltrs to 100ks in city traffic try a kns pod filter that might help your fuel economy also as the engine breaths better

Average 9.8L/100Km

I have a 1997 VS S2 V6 manual that I bought new in 1997. It is now past 150,000 Km.

I have kept fuel figures from day 1, on the assumption that significant changes will be a good indicator that I need to do something.

I have averaged 9.8L/100Km, though I must admit it has not done much commuting in heavy peak hour traffic.

I have gone from Windsor to Warwick on the one tank, with just me and a couple of bags aboard. I think that was a bit over 800 Km.

Best fuel consumption has been 6.9L/100 Km, or 41 MPG in the old terms.
