petrol usage

[VKCOMMO]

hey

which uses more petrol just in normal driving, a 5l or a 3.8 eco. i know it looks like the 6 will but ive heard from people that their 5l uses less.. what do you think??

thanks

Ecotec....

[VKCOMMO]

What sort of driving exactly? City or freeway?

Freeway i'm more inclined to say this is the order (better economy being first):
Super 8, Super 6, V8, V6

City:
V6, Super 6, V8, Super 8

I had a Buick V6 with Pacemaker headers, 2.5" zorst, Foam tune, CAI and a few other bits, that thing used more fuel than my Senator, which has HSV headers, 3" exhaust, CAI and a Kalmaker ECU.

Bullshit you used to allways say your V6 was good on fuel and you allways complain about the 5 litre, I think you just forgot. 5 litres use heaps more fuel no matter what anyone says including Stealthy, who has a 6 speed in his and driving my a gret grandma so that hardly counts . Expect 1.5-2 litres more fuel to be used in a 5 litre. If you want to compare a manual 5L to a Auto V6 then they will be about the same, but a Manual V6 will use less than a manual 5L. But even the 5 litre will use tons less fuel than a VK with a 202

i know. on last last fill i got about 180km to 40L.. that was alot of short high revving spells though..

5litres are pretty economical, peak hour they would suck a bit. Still, Ecotec's are thirsty buggers.

Alien has hit the nail on the head in terms of fuel economy order.

a six will generaly use less fuel in most application.

that said, i believe my car will use less fuel than a four cylinder. (towing a loaded horse float up bulli pass)

[johnvtls1]

a standard v6 uses jack all fuel. but once u start playing wth them they drink a lot, just like anything. my cammed v6 used shit loads, when i got the ss it was using less then that. had a play with the ss now it uses lots more then the v6. thats just the way it goes. if you want economy got a six, or a nice little four banger. thought of a camery?

[VKCOMMO]

whats a camry.. lol.. i only believe in good sedans

a standard v6 uses jack all fuel.

+1, and they are not forgiving to lead foot drivers.

the pulsar rock best fuel eco, cheap to fill, under 50 bucks.. top eco on highway, did over 385 k's from cairns to townsville used about a quarter of a tank nowhere near half.. no power though

[VNWPN]

My 5litre has 80 litre tank, around town i get 300km's plus from just half a tank, but that goes down quick with my foot lol, people always want to drag at the light's and i will give anyone ago lol. but on hwy my best was 802k'm with a full tank . But i don't really care about fuel economy if i did i be like most of my mates and by a small car grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. But i love my v8's
