im lucky to better 15.7 per 100k average, but thats cos i drive only 5 klms to work and the car doesnt really ever get to operating temp that's pretty much my problem, it's not running rich or anything, emissions are normal. |

well fellas. my odomoter just ticked over 100km after i filled up and my trip is readin 17L/100km. the bad thing is that i dun think the trip is reading it wrong. my fuel tank needle was passed the F line when i filled it up. and now is already half way if not closer to the second line after the Full line. now i know something is wrong. its not vac because i just sealed the vac hose that goes behind my dash. now i haev to check return line, injectors (most likely) and then temp and and oxy. time to invest in a multi meter.
once i get that fixed ill give more updates. and i tihnk a full tank at this rate would give me at least 300km so i hope phong =P~

just out of interest, can someone tell me where the coolant temp sensor is? i know there's a sensor in the bottom of the thermostat housing and i KNOW that affects my temp gauge, is this also the one that the ECU uses?

i think ur doing way better then me. im hitting 200km and the thing is still at 17l/100km. thats with a little bit of flooring. rest is driving below 2000rpm. im half way through the tank already....probably have less then a tank left. phong =P~

well, this tank ive done 343km and trip comp says 88km left..
so at this rate its 430km from a full tank (68L for when trip comp says 0 left). thats with about 80-100km of freeway driving. so about 16L/100km :\ all i really want is to be able to crack about 400km till fuel light comes on. or almost 500 from a full 68L

well when the EL's came out supposedly they only drink 12.5L/100km city driving. after 10 years i think it would drop to about 14L/100km but even at 14L/100km u should be able to get 485km and at 12.5L/100km u should get over 500.
Gaz at 16L/100km u should get about 425km so yeah at least ur trip is going well. i should be getting 400km if im lucky but at this rate i think im only getting 350km and thats like 19L/100km......ahhhhh its giving me a headache =( EDIT: btw is it hard to change the fuel reg? cause i found out that since i changed my fuel filter (the old one was extremely blocked) my fuel eco went down the drain. i was thinking the whole fuel line is stuffed. where is the best place to pull the return line off to check if the line is blocked? i tried at the fuel pump but the black plastic thing is stopping me from unplugging it =( its too stiff and cant pull it back. phong =P~

your fuel eco woulda gone donw the drain if the last one was extremely blocked because at a guess id say it would have been running a little leaner.

well when i had the block filter in it would let me rev up to a certain point and it would be like choking. it would hesitate and stuff. idle was really rough. when i changed the filter it was all fine and then i noticed high fuel consumption. i thought the computer would have learnt that by now :S dsheps83 i dont trust my trip either. it actually sais i still have 250 km in the tank....by judging how fast the needle goes down im hoping to get 150 phong =P~

i might replace the fuel reg, and then other fuel line related things. as well as cleaning injectors. then reset ECU.
btw do lifters, valves and cams have a say with fuel eco? like when they stuff up phong =P~

the main problem with high perol usage with el's is flat tires. pump the tires up and see if that does the trick.
my brothers ef fairmont was doing 18l/100km pump the tires up(a little more then recomennded) reset the ecu and was doin 12
