Switch to 95.
Not that you'll see much improvement if your Corsa is using a liter of fuel every 3km.

95 will yield no benefit in my car, its not overly heavy on fuel, just isn't efficient to begin with even though everyone thinks they are.

Is it an old school Corsa or a newer one?
Even the older ones shouldn’t be that heavy.

The 1.8 GSi version with some free flows or other mods, might just return that if you're sitting in traffic idling all your RRR away.

Corsa’s of old actually had better fuel economy once modded.
They were terrible out of the box.

That's why you want the 1991 Opel Monza 1.6 GSi COTY edition... But that's a troll for another thread
I did not know that of the old corsas.

I think they were the first generations to go FI and weren't properly tuned for local weather conditions in their thresholds, before the days when things were infinitely adaptive like they are these days.
My 1.4 got maybe 450km on a tank, where my mate's identical car with free flow and race filter got an easy 550km.
The "GSI" which would make you think was the sporty one would get it's ass kicked by the Lite 1.4 quite easily with 10kw difference purely for gear ratios and weight differences.
2001-ish models.

Oh. Well that explains that then.
Can stop feeling bad. Those bikes win the fuel efficiency competitions each time.

Fuel consumption was the last thing on my mind when buying a bike. Time saved commuting and the fun factor is always front and center.

Harley battling to win over youth market with electric bike
Harley-Davidson is betting on electric motorcycles to attract the next generation of younger and more environmentally conscious riders to reverse declining US sales.
But as Harley ships its first "LiveWire" bikes to dealers, there is little evidence the 116-year-old brand is catching on with new young customers.
The problem lies mostly with this "super-premium" product's price of $29 799 (about R450 000). The bike costs nearly as much as a Tesla Model 3, and aims for a market that does not really exist: young, "green" and affluent first-time motorcyclists.
The sleek sports bike has been available for pre-order in the United States since January. However, the bulk of the orders are coming in from existing and old riders, according to interviews with 40 of the 150 dealerships nationwide that are carrying the bike this year.
The dealers Reuters spoke with account for little over a quarter of LiveWire dealerships and are spread across Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, California, Nevada, New Jersey and New York.
Harley has for years failed to increase sales in the United States, its top market accounting for more than half of its motorcycles sold. As its tattooed, baby-boomer base ages, the Milwaukee-based company is finding it challenging to woo new customers.
In 2018, Harley posted the steepest sales decline in four years in the United States. US sales are tipped to fall again this year.
The heavyweight motorcycle maker's stock price has declined by 42 percent in the past five years.

The problem is all in the price.
Don’t know where Harley thinks the youth market will find all those $$$ for a bike that is bettered in every other way but being electric for half or less of the price.
And even electric options are half the price of the Harley and better so why would you?

@gamer16 Have you checked your vacuum lines. If those are cracked it can cause havoc with fuel metering and timing control?
Also, your Corsa have a coil pack? If it does - those things do eventually wear out and deliver poor spark.
You car may be running seriously rich which is why its drinking fuel. One more thing; if you stand behind your car does it smell of petrol or not? If it stinks of unburned fuel, you have a problem.

Nah the car's economy is par for the course, keeping in mind it's very old tech. It's only about 1km per liter less than what its rated for and the trip to work is mostly sitting at 140 so with the short ratios it sits above 4k. Im town the economy should be much better although I have never checked it.
Had a good laugh at the members going mental after my post
