With IACV valve cleaned, there is a whopping increase in fuel economy on freeway. I drove to Canberra and this is what happened. When I started from Melbourne it was 8.9L/100km. I dont know How much fuel was in the tank may be 90%. I was carrying lot of heavy luggage in the boot and back seats. Rear end was kind of dipped, thats how heavy it was. It was a non-stop drive until Gundagai (around 480km from Melb) where I stopped for refuel. I filled full tank, reset all readings and set off to Canberra which is 160km from Gundagai. When I reached Canberra fuel consumption reads 7.9L/100km and 630km to empty. This is the best mileage my Kitty ever did. Mind you I recently replaced leads and sparkplugs were 10,000km old.
