Hi, over the last 12 months i've noticed that my $100 worth of petrol is not getting me as many km's it did when i bought it.I keep it well tuned but every couple of weeks/months it gets worse ,anyone else with this problem and any ideas on how to fix ?. Its a 4.2 petrol if that helps any.

yeah, we are trying to plan a trip to Dorunda nera kurmba and works out about $2k for fuel in a GQ diesel and i can only cart enough fuel for 1 way, so if i cant find any takeaway joints itll cost me about 1k
Have 2 spare seats if anyoone intrersted.

I got a 3 litre, did the same thing, till after a service, was getting only 750km a tank over the nullabor when I usually got 850, 900... on the way back for the third time I did a service and got all good stuff... economy went back up, only 50km a tank but a huge difference when your paying a little over $180 to fill up... dunno what causes it

Yeah I`ve noticed if you put the foot down you get even less for 100 dollars. Can`t understand that cos you`re gettin there quicker
