Yeah that don't sound right ^^

^{_{Just filled it to the brim with 98, only to start the car and see range 350km :(}}

^{_{Came home and ordered a new o2 sensor from Bosch website, now the wait game begins}}

^{_{Dont stress by tomorow it will jump up & down abit and end up saying 350 again once you have done about 100 or so km.. the fuel sender in these FG's seem to innacurately read anything over 3/4 of a tank.. Dont think your o2 sensor is going to help you at all mate, the range usually calculates itself so with abit of thrashing & not filling tank to maximum from time to time, these factors will confuse its attempt to work out your range}}

I've just hit 1500kms on my FG XR6T, stock as a rock at the moment, I drive it in performance, I'm averaging 15.4L/100kms, to be honest I'm not fussed with it I mean we don't buy turbo's to be too worried about fuel economy lol

Cars done 110k, thought why not replace it as Bosch website says replace every 100k. Will be delivered today, looking forward to results if I am able to install the farker lol

^^^ maybe some use of colourfull language to help fix problem haha!!

no luck, too tight, ended up rounding the bloody o2 sensor with a spanner. How do you loosen a rounded head? it has lost its hexagonal shape. Sprayed some WD40, hopefully loosens overnight

FG na I get 10.2 around town

managed to install new o2 sensor ,average fuel economy has improved by 2-3 L/100km with same driving style. now sits at 14 in city instead of 16-17

110 000km old o2 sensor was sluggish to respond , thus consuming more fuel.

Note: dont try changing sensor while engine is warm(stupid me). Put a few ice cubes ontop, it came loose pretty easy

I sit, on average, at about 15.1L/100kms (reset each tank fill), but have a fairly short trip to work, and, well, with a freeway on ramp at 6am, the traffic is clear, and the air cold, how could I not...

have had it average 18-19L/100kms for a tank load before... whoops.

sliiiiiightly of topic, but can anyone here their fuel pup sucking air with still 50-60kms to go?

doesn't seem right, doesn't surge, defiantly will last another 50kms, so its got around 7-8L at minimum still in the tank.... ?

Yep, I sure can ,not sure if normal. Once with only 20km left till emtpy I was driving it like I stole it and the bubbles/sucking air got pretty loud that I thought I broke something. Put the car in P, was still loud. To this day I can still hear the pump when near empty.

My cars a stock fg
