New figures with higher CR on the engine (9.5:1) and XR6 cam, 14 deg BTDC timing and 5spd manual gearbox (EL fairmont)
Highway at 90km/h 6.5L/100km Highway at 110km/h 7.5L/100km City suburban babying the engine, gearshifts under 2000rpm 9.5L/100km City stop-start, wide open throttle from every set of lights, 5000RPM gearchanges 12.6L/100km These are the figures from the trip computer which still thinks the engine is on petrol, its currently inhaling LPG so if we add around 25% (for the extra LPG used compared to petrol) to those numbers, its quite accurate since 62 litres of LPG gave me 750km on the highway at 90km/h on cruise control. Still trying to better it, considering a slightly taller diff from the 3.23 in there at the moment, probably a 3.08 but I'm concerned about the car getting a lot slower. As it stands, it *just* beats a 195kw V8 auto commodore to 100km/h by about half a car length. |

on ITS performance package - Stage 4 lower end and Stage 3 (PS) headwork, 5 speed box with 3.08 diff, race headers and 2.5 exhaust on standard intake setup.
City - 10.4l per 100 averaged (shifts at 1800rpm, neutral cruise down hills and 80km 5th cruise where possible from early morning starts and peak-hour return journey 110km round trip) City - 11.5 per 100 (same trip- way more pro-actively) Freeway - 7.8l per 100 on cruise control 110kph, at 120kph in 5th on cruise seems to be a sweet-spot (5-6l per 100 on level road).

I travelled to Wagga before Christmas and got about 620 on a full tank before filling up to come back to Sydney. Normally I get about 480 in the city travelling to and from work.
Seems to be OK for a 6 cylinder 3.9 litre motor.

No smoke coming from my car even when going hard I'm thinking 02 sensor has gone on me about how much is a decent new one? I'm also getting a tune up soon that should tell me what's wrong or fix my problem (I hope)

Ive now gone thru a few tanks of mobil synergy 8000, gotta say i like it, getting more kms and performance seems on par with optimax!
This tank i should pull about 480kms of city driving, bloody good i rekon considering how i was driving most of last night.
