Holden Rodeo 2000: Is my V6 thirsty?

...

I HAVE a 2000 Holden Rodeo dual-cab ute with the V6 engine and auto transmission. It has done 104,000km and runs well, but the fuel consumption seems poor at 16 to 17 litres/100km. Could you tell me if that's normal?

THAT'S about right for the V6 Rodeo, I'm afraid. Apart from converting it to dual-fuel, the only things you can do are to ensure the wheel alignment is OK; the tyres in good condition and inflated to the recommended pressure or slightly higher; and ladder racks and other items affecting the aerodynamics are removed.
