Mines fairly economical exept when i turn the poor bicth off, i swear she always start with half of a Quarter of a tank less. No matter how far i drive too. So if i do a heap of 5 minutes here, 5 minutes there drives by the end of the day my car would be empty. Damn it im putting a lock on my cap just to make sure noones there with a hose...

Platinum- No I don't have a long range tank. But economy is pretty good, when I purchased the car the guy said it had a really long diff (some bull**** like 2.7/8/9). And I have noticed that I have to give it abit more off the line than other vl's I have driven. That could be it, and I do probably 70% highway driving with cruze on. Cheers Kingyvl

For reference, freeway driving (interstate) I get about 6.5l/100kms on LPG .. bloody good at half the cost of petrol Well woth the extra when buying a car if you do a lot of long distance trips to get an LPG fitted car Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Look i have no 02 sensor and i get about 14litres to 100km so dont worry about it. Also i no if ur wasting fuel, does ur car backfire alot cause if it does then ur car definnetly runs rich and has alot of fuel to burn, that causes the backfires through ur exhaust so if it does like mine then go fix it. Im gonna get mine fixed as soon as i can, only cause i care about my engine. Also no 02 sensor is really bad down the road so get it fixed when u can.
