I have the 06 ss/sc i just bought and im not sure if she is running right because she seems to drink the fuel like crazy. anyone have any idea what i could do ? air filter, oil change, spark plugs ? or is it just the way the car is. i filled it up yesterday and went about 220 km's and its below half :S

and for thos ********* who are just gonna give me ****, in advance u can **** off thanks.

 

i got a 07 ss/sc and im getin 32.8 miles to a gallon with zzp stage 3 and other mods. It shouldnt waste gas like crazy. If you mod it it helps save gas unless you got a heavy foot. (:

 

mine is completely stock. im not that heavy only when i need to haha. im bearly getting 400km's to a tank is that normal?

 

not sure but i know i wasted more gas stock then i do now.

 

Whats that in miles? Every car will vary a bit. A tune really helps.

 

Is your car by chance a Stage II?

Check the supercharger pulley. If it has blue bolts, it is likely the 77.9mm pulley.

 

39.9 hwy.

 

34mpg and i have a heavy foot. you don't trust me????? look at my signature jejejejejejeje

if your car has the hopping syndrome, you might want to clean the TB or with a chevy dealer a induction cleaning, $179 for everything job+labor+tax. now i have a brand new car.

check the air filter, and i don't know if you might also need to change the fuel filter, if the previous owner loved to run the car with 1/4 always, that could also be the problem.

 

Dude thats terrible, you paid 179 to have someone clean your throttle body? Support the dealerships i guess, somebodies gotta do it, better u than me.

 

^^^ not only TB, also injectors and manifold intake.
like I said it was totally worth it because now the car responds way faster.

 

checked the plugs they smelled like fuel and they were black so changed them out and put good ones in. and air filter was really dirty so hopefully this will help out. we shall see.

 

How many miles. The fuel filter is easy to change. Just get the fuel line kit from the auto store for less then $10, a new filter and a socket set. Shouldnt take more than 45 mins if it is ur first time. Located on the driver side under the car just behind the door.

I believe there is a how to post too.
