G'day so the other day I noticed my ss drinking more fuel then it normally does. I filled it up today and tank said 430 to empty. In a 8.7km drive it went down to 400. It's saying average 25l/100kms.

Could be normal but again would be a good week and a half to fill up now every 3/4 days

Cheers crash

Mine says 120km on a full tank and it’s a V6

I’ve improved mine by

finding a poor connection in the MAF sensor plug.
Resolved air/vacuum leaks
Fixed a near new faulty fuel pump
Replaced Oxygen sensors with genuine Bosch.
Made sure the PCV system
Is working freely.
Cleaned injectors
Cleaned the throttle body and intake
Performed throttle relearns with a bidirectional scan tool.
