Hey, woundering if anyone can shed some light, i am currently paying $70 to $80 to fill my car up and only getting about 400km out of the tank, i was told that it was proberly my oxy sensor, but not willing to spend $80 on it if it not going to fix the problem, how many km should i be getting out of a tank, the car is a VP commodore, 3.8L with a K&N pod filter as the only mod done to the motor, as i am after a second opinion on this i thought i could only ask. thanks for your time and hope someone can answer my question.
oh yeah does anyone know where i can get a second hand Group A SS front bar for my vp, thanks

What type of driving? Country, freeway, urban, semi-urban.

Well id say that its a 60L tank. and ill be doing high way driving, now they say that its good to change the oxy sensor every 80000, i take it by the service books that it never been changed, so is it worth a try.
