thats the best fuel economy EVER. I wish I was getting that. Seriously dude if your eating that much fuel there is something WAY wrong. Fix your car damn it. If you know something is broken whats the point of being a tight ass.

And here's me thinking I'm getting bad fuel economy when the most I'll get out of 83L tank is 500km's It's running way rich atm... soon to be rectified tho But then again I have the dodgy afm that keep ****ing up as they do and a few little mods wouldn't help that either, not until the right ecu goes in. Me, I'm over the fuel economy thing as as soon as you mod a car, expect to lose some economy.. lol I have replaced my vacuum lines, o2 sensor and tps and noticed a big difference as in to fuel economy, but haven't actually got it pressure tested to see if I have an issue or not. Have you got a manual for the VL, it comes in handy a lot Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Bumpage, I filled the tank on Thursday night then only travelled 30kms and the gage is now pointing at the second last bar. WTF?? Surely that's pathetic economy. I have searched and have done almost everything possible in regards to changing parts and cleaning sensors. Anyone have any last suggestions? Ta

Someone siphoned your tank or the fuel gauge is dodgy? Refilled the tank to check the fuel guage? To use that much fuel for 30km seems overly excessive even for a car running super super rich.
