Fuel miles on au2 sr

[allenford]

I want best mile's I could get

227 ks just bit over the half a tank what I doing wrong?

New exhaust
New o2 sensor
New catalytic converter
New injectors
New fuel pressure regulator
New fuel pump
New fuel filter

Did reset the car just sucking fuel..

Any more idea's as losing battle with the car just Goin to trash it can't afford much to keeping it running.. My kid is in Victoria while I am in SA so do need my car to visit her...

How much is half a tank? Have you actually measured how many litres you used for that half a tank? When you work out how many litres you used for the km then we can tell you if it's good or crappy!



Maybe the gauge is out?

[allenford]

The gauge is 100% correct lol I know that from experience running out of fuel when it was worse than it is now. (200ks a tank) .

My old au1 as my avatar did 270ks to half the tank

[allenford]

I might drive up the half.. 30 ks more then it might be 250ks to half..

I'm so confused I'm schizophrenia.. But put an old style Ford or Holden carbie in front of me I will make it run like new..

My old Ford falcon xe 250 crosflow on gas gets 506 ks city driving 600 petrol city which was great.. Just can't compute with the car tune

My old stock AU II 6 cyl would do at best 400 city ( less on LPG)

How’s the paralytic converter? They are good until they aren’t, and it won’t throw an engine light to let you know.

[Peter B - CV8]

What's your average speed reading ? Hard to get good fuel economy if you're stuck in stop/start traffic...

[allenford]

New catalytic converter mate basically new everything do with flow and fuel..

Moving fast not slow smoothly like before au1 should be the same as au2

That's what my lpg does.. But talking about petrol.. Which I aren't happy with.

Check the inlet manifold bolts are tight & the gasket is in good condition & not cracked, good luck!

cheers, Maka

450 Klm around town on a minty is the norm. On factory lpg they run around the 18l per 100klm.

Monster engine and the old explorer 302W is just as endearing.

[allenford]

I done 260ks it's on half a tank.. Petrol.

Lpg is not what I'm worried with that does 500ks but lpg slowly fading away and petrol is more strong pulling loads..

[allenford]

I did calculations getting 13.3/100ks so I should fill up then drive it like adult

And see how far to a tank

[XC50077]

My AU2 SR, I am averaging around 10L/100 with a 50/50 mix of around town and 80kmh semi rural trips. Using BP95 now to help clean up the dirty fuel from the servo I used to frequent. Cheers.

[allenford]

99.9% me city driving.. Which sucks most of the time..

[jstanovic]

13L/100km isn’t too bad for an AU around town, might get a bit better driving like a granny!!

[allenford]

I going to start this Thursday.. Give it a bath while it does it job

[allenford]

When first start up it will show 2.20 and reading rich.. But once warm this what shows

[falcon_bandit]

13L city driving for a big 18 year old 6cyl barge is good!!

[Uncle_Ken]

what about the THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH ?

600km is a pipe dream, they do 450km at best around town.

[allenford]

That's why I stop whining about ks in the city.. Lmfao

Just need to talk about it
