Hey Everyone,

I've Been interested in fuel saving ever since my first car a 1981 TE Gemini from about 7 years ago, I removed the Air Conditioning completely from that car as it was not working and weighed about 30kg haha, it had a good 1.6 litre SOHC motor.

For the last 4 years I had a 1994 VR commodore with a very worked engine and still managed to get not bad town and highway efficiency out of it, I had a Vacuum Gauge and Narrow band Exhaust Oxygen Sensor display to help in knowing when to let off the throttle resulting in the motor reducing injecting fuel.

Now I have a 2008 SV6 Holden Sportswagon that I have started to do a few aerodynamic mods on, check out my thread in the update.

Regards

Linkwitz
