MCWILLY Member 190 Member For: 14y 7m 16d Posted 13/11/12 09:23 AM Posted 13/11/12 09:23 AM I have a 06 bf xrt and I am currently getting what I think is really bad fuel economy. It's currently averaging 16.5L/100km. Any ideas on what could be causing the real bad fuel economy. It use to be 13s and driven slightly longer distances. 16+ just seems huge. Could it be O2 sensor?

I was hovering around the 11 L/100km. then shot up to 13 driving the same path over 2 years. no idea why.recently got a tune on 98 making 290kws and economy improved heaps.then got 85 tune and now im sitting at 20L/100km. and loving it. lolps. the L/100km your getting is right as your avg speed is very low.
