Hi All
I have recently fitted a set of power plugs and a K&N filter and after two trips to Coffs Harbour from Gold Coast and back and a weeks worth of to and from work i am getting 13.5l per hundred kays. Very happy. These trips were done with a full roof bag of gear and back loaded. Feels so much more responsive to with the new plugs.
Well worth the money.
Cheers

On a recent run to Perth, I travelled at 110km/h on the way down and 100km/h on the way back. Obviously the fuel usage travelling at 100 was less, but not by a lot. I reckon I would of saved 20 litres over the 330km trip. I used a needle thickness over half a tank on the way down and a needle thickness under on the way back. But, travelling at 100 seemed to take forever,,lol
120 V6, with a little bit of this n that
have the same issue, with chasing fuel economy,,, but the fact it's a V6 ...... for 20 l of saving's ya mose well plant the right boot and cut sick... more fun and worth paying for''' cheers butaneOriginally Posted by 1tuff4b
