well what improoved my fuel eco was buying new fuel filter, air filter, changed the oil and filter as you do, and run injector cleaner through it. it helped alot i noticed it.

yeah don't no y considering i flog most gears. out to 4 or 5 grand through 1st 2nd and 3rd but i try and avoid 60 and under zones wen possible plus i don't travell much near lights or in traffic... and i don't sit and warm it up before i go. canberra has a lot of rou ndabouts and good roads so i don't get stuck in line ups much

i get 400kms/tank around town and 600+ on the highway, i did over 400 kays last night, cruising around to Lismore and Byron bay and used under 3/4 of the tank in petty, was giving my vl a bit of a hard time too and was using ulp, pulp is too expensive here at the moment

usually get like 300-350 hmm afm must look into this. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i get about 110ks out of $20... i think that aint too good.. but eh.. what can ya do..lol

with the 68L wagon tank (manual): around the city i pull ~10.5L/100km on the open road with cruise control, it pulls ~6.5L/100km, will do 1000kms on a tank with a bit left over damnnnned fine since i changed it over to manual, had injectors out, fixed leaking fuel hose, replaced air filter etc. hehe the car used to use up to 25L / 100km around the city, now its ~10, not a clue why doing the work i did to it had that effect but im not going to complain about it

well once my new na motor drops in should be by the end of this month im getting my tuned and programmed but right now my car has the harness and ecu of a auto and the tranny is manual but if i go any higher then 60km/h the fuel efficiancy goes right out the door.

I get about 300k's with a 5L V8 VL, lol, i need a tune up bad hey...

I did the same, I get 650 - 700km to a full tank (63l)(thrashing the car to), I suggest anyone who is getting under 500km to a tank should do the following - Replace Fuel Filter - Replace Air Filter - Replace oil filter + oil - Run injector cleaner through the system once a month - Run Boost and performance liquids through the system. - Install CAI - Adjust AFM - Replace Spark plugs and leads - Have the car serviced regularly - Use Premium Unleaded (where possible)

did the vl have chrome vr clubbie rims on it ??

if he was going 170...surely he would have died?..unless its a massive area with no trees gutters..etc.

well some people are very lucky to escape **** like that aye it happens. its a holden its tough heheheheheheh ;-)

i guess the afm thread was deleted then, here's what you do: - unplug ur afm - test the resistance @200ohm (i think, it might be 2000 though so just see what kinda nubers come up) between the 1st and last pin on the afm - the stock resistance should be 382 - if its not that poke that thing sticking out with a screwdriver and turn the screw in there till you get the right reading - although 382 is the right reading i found that my car run much better at 320 without losing any fuel economy at all

there were about 4 people who found their afm was set to around 150homs, then when they changed it they got all their fuel economy back and a little bit of power. before 400km/tank... 5 mins l8r 600km/tank, it's that simple, lol

wicked ****.. whats the best injecter and boost cleaners to use?

yeah that was the vl, and i still dont know how he survived, hit the gutter on the other side of the round a bout and straight into a tree, the vl was a mess, lucky there was no passengers with him

juzi..what do you check the afm resistance with?...just a multimeter?
