Hey everyone, I hope this helps alot others.
Whats is your fuel consumption economy / average liters Km on a VZ 6cyl Alloytec or stato / caprice (heavier)
Mine is an 05 Wl caprice 6Cyl using
16.6L/100km @ av 29km/h.
I drive like a grandpa thou, lol.
Not that bad but I never thrash it at.
Just normal driving.
Things done so far: (excluding performance mods*)
- BMC panel filter is clean.
- Plugs have recently been changed.
- Fuel filter recently replaced.
- Always running 98 octane.
- Have already added a injected cleaner.
- Throttle body + intake manifold cleaned.
- Coolant changed.
-12mm mace insulators installed*
Iv got pacemaker extractors n a 2 1/4 catback.
Indeed Every lil mod helps, I just need to get my LPG retuned but before it , I'm getting the ss induction and the 20% under drive pulley kit.
Hopefully my fuel consumption decreases after the tune cause it's sitting pretty high.
Not sure if those figures are average but on my previous car (WL STATO) it was much lower @ around 11.5L/100km at the same ave speed.
She's a 2004 Wl CAPRICE 3.6L 190KW on 135,000 Km.
Why's the difference?
What's yours like???
And any advice?
Cheers
Dave.
