On holidays at the moment - drove from Sydney to Brisbane in the VY and collected the following data, for those who might like to know.

That's pretty good for an untuned auto.

I'd be stoked if after exhaust + OTR + mafless the fuel consumption actually improved I'll probably do the drive again after those things and see.

I'd be stoked if after exhaust + OTR + mafless the fuel consumption actually improved .

Most likely they would, cause there the main reasons that restrict a cars power.

Recently my VZ Senator LS2auto mafless tuned (oztrack) on a return trip Sydney to Kempsey and back with 5 adults up and 4 adults back plus luggage netted 11.2L/100klm on the trip computer.
The computer was reset to zero when I filled up in Paddington, Sydney the night before we went and I filled up twice with the second/last fill at the same Paddo servo.
I was pretty happy with that considering the load .

Well done, thats pretty good. I know once we went on a trip in my old man's mates VY SS and got from Adelaide to Geelong on one tank...

I just drove from Adelaide right through to Melbourne on Tuesday and still had 1/8th of a tank left!! Which I thought was pretty good... although mine is the ecotec so a bit different obviously.
