Horrible fuel consumption

My S4 87 RX-7 consumes 50 litre of gasoline on 300 km... So I get somewhere 16l per 100 km... And IŽd like to know is there anything to do... To lower the fuel consumption ?

Altering my driving does nothing ...

Full tuneup would be a good start.

See the FAQ for past mileage topics.

o2 sensor replacement will help if it is bad. My afm a few months ago was causing me to get suicidally bad gas mileage too.

The band "him" is decent and your cheese is dope. What else is from finland that is worth mentioning?

Lots of good racing drivers, and a bunch of other good bands to name a few.

As for gas mileage, a bad O2 sensor is the most likely culprit. There isn't anything crazy done to this car like bigger injectors or anything, is there?
Also, I assume that you changed the air filter with the tune-up? Also, check that the brake pads aren't dragging.
