So I've had this second ute for a while now, got it retuned 3-4 weeks ago , only driven it 4 times since (10-15 km's each time) BY JEEBUS it GUZZLES! .... my average is reading 33.7l/100km, but that's not what I'm judging by, I'm judging by the fact that I drive to a mates house and its like I've driven Bathurst lol. I haven't been stabbing it , I have been seeing what the best "economy" I can get out of it. Obviously I know a tuned 6 isnt about less consumption, but when its sucking worse than a MAF tuned V8 when I'm being a nanna I had to ask the question.......Is it normal? It's tuned by a reputable Perth ford tuner using X4 flasher, just had 1000Id 80lb injectors put in , had the seimens 80lb deka taken out (which were 1000kms old) was told that they're no good to tune for nice idle, the car was also having stalling issues ... In the end they still had problems on the dyno , in the end they had to clean the fuel system out because possibly octane booster had be put through the fuel system and disintegrated a performance fuel filter. The lines had to be all cleaned etc and then they got it sorted , also a fuel opening in a steel pipe fitting had been crushed ever so slightly but was replaced. (had two stalls since- hoping its clearing its throat :s) mods are: -atomic hd valve springs. -process west stage 3 cooler -Turbo smart race port bov -Brand new genuine ford lifters -Brand new Bosch 044 fuel pump and 4l surge tank -Brand new id1000 injectors. -Brand new genuine coil packs -New fuel filter and all system cleaned -Nizpro forward facing plenum -Gt35/40 turbocharger ported and bigger wastegate -11.8 actuator -Battery relocation - 4’’ dephillipo dump, twin 3" exhaust -K&n intake pod to turbo running 368rwkw /493.5hp @15.5psi I had my old utes same make and model as this one now (BA mkii 2005 6 speed xr6t) and it was tuned to 285rwkw @12psi and really it didnt seem to drink anymore than the factory tune

hi guys, im totally new in xr6t sence. I used to have a skyline. just jump to xr6t a few month ago... pls help me out. I think there are some problems with my ba xr6t which lead its comsumption is quite high.... I bought it these year July. its run like 23L/100kms at that time. absolute rediculous. The car was all standard, and im driving it very gently, no heavy foot at all. then I get it serviced, chaged oil, air filter and spark plugs. and run on computer showed everything was fine, but the gearbox. Anyway, the fuel comsuption was better, 18L/100kms. then I went to a gearbox specialist and they took it for a test drive and told me these was nothing wrong with the gearbox. coz its grives totally fine, nothing abnormal. it sit around 2000rpm at 100km/hr when cruise on high way, is this info. helpful to see if the gearbox is all right? I really dont know what to do now .... 18L/100kms, is this the way a xr6t should be?? can anyone give me some suggeation??? thx a lot !!
