Better fuel economy after service
i've clocked up over 100,000 km's on my car and have always averaged the same kind of fuel use..(410km p/tank)(330 when pushing)
However after my last service I got over 500km's.. 2nd tank in is looking the same..
Any idea's?
Anyone else experience the same?

Very interesting. Done under warranty?

Might mention it when mine goes in for some warranty work. See what kind of responce I get.
Senior Member ... wtf?
Wow... (410km p/tank)(330 when pushing)... Seems very low to me to begin with... I didnt see much improvement at any of my services but I did notice about a 1km/ltr difference after a tune. So I am getting about 450km per 45-48 litres (which is when the light coems on).
I Have The Need For Speed
I have always had 500+ and the worst senario was 50.8ltrs to fill to the brim. Track days i will lose around 100 to 120k's depending on the laps and my best was when i drove back from Bathurst this year and filled up I'd driven 620k's and took 49.83ltrs to the brim.... Mine has been tuned from day one with a 2 1/2 exhaust never driven a stock MPS ever except on a track day which is different....
The photo attached is from this weekend gone with some good runs and hills and twisters etc etc etc.....

Is it at all possible for a new CPe DP to help with fuel economy ??? I've noticed although on one tank through that I got way above average fuel economy since the dp was installed. Obviously I drove it more easily to begin with but still I got easily above 500 without the light coming on .... whereas usually 400 almost on the dot and the light would come up !! Strange !

The light coming on at 400 is pretty normal to me. I had the pipe fitted about a week after my service so can rule that out

now i'm wondering what was wrong with my car rather than what did they do... I thought it was ok before..

Im almost at half way of the fuel guage, and im only on 160kms's atm.. looks like i wont even make 300 by the time the light comes on..

Dammm thats not good, thats not right.I seem to always make 300km by halfway and average over 500km and I like driving hard!
Senior Member
well i made 7.9 lts / 100km
but on cruise at 110 km

Ok there are 2 consistant patterns here... is there a software patch or something because 1/2 the replys are around 400 per tank and the others are over 500.. I think we mostly drive the same. the gearing prevents good fuel economy on the freeways anyway.. so why are some people so much better off than others?
Senior Member
well if u always below 2500 rpm u can make lesr than 10 lts/100km
Senior Member
Agreed! I was driving my car for about a month after resetting the averages. I must admit I rarely would feel the need to put the petal to the metal, I managed to get easy 500km's out of the tank and Fuel consumption was at 9.9L/100 km
