Hiya.

I have an AU2 XR8 auto 156,000kms ....I usually get 400kms out of a tank.....lately ive been getting like 300kms out of a tank driving it even nicer. I cleaned the throttle body and MAF sensor...........Can anyone shed some light on what i may be?

Thanks!

Might want to check the sock attached to the fuel pump, the inline filter isn't always the cause of problems.
