So basically everyone my little rolla has a habit of chewing more fuel than i'd assume is normal as i have a 91 csi 40 litre tank according to the booklet i'm getting if im lucky maybe 420km to a tank...Is this normal as that would equate to be about 10litres per hundred? I previously had a 07 xr6 and my average was 11!!!! So right now i feel like i've just gone back 20 years to use the same ammount of fuel and not even half the power I had!!!

Any ideas if this is normal or is my car just being greedy! I've just thrown some injector cleaner through but other than that wouldn't know where to start as to a possible problem. I'm taking it to an auto elec soon for a full diag. Any tips and or information would be greatly appreciated! CHEERS!

could be O2 sensor, lot of carbon build up. You can take it out and leave it in some petrol to break down the carbon built up on it or just replace the whole O2 sensor.

Cant give you an exact price on a 4afe. But had a friend bought one for 20v for around $100

410 to a tank is good. I'm lucky to get 350, 3/4 city driving

Well when you look at it, 70% of the fuel is being wasted and turned into useless heat. So 410km's to the tank is good.
