VL 3.0L fuel consumption

[shaun69er5]

how much fuel roughly does a 3.0L straight 6 rb30e or whatever the stock engine in a vl berlina is gets used per 100km?

[redrags]

i use to get 300-350 k out of a 60l tank in mine

[starfire vc]

yeah about 350-400...got 120k to a tank when my timing belt jumpt a tooth

[Ado]

My rb30 gets 350 klms from 75 lt of LPG.

Do you mean me?If you are its because my rb30 is in a 2800kg Nissan Patrol.

nissan patrols too heavy and way under powered mates patrol would average 370 on a tank of gas 80 lts mind you he had roof racks and twin spare wheels side steps 3inch suspension lift and 3 inch body lift and the aerodynamics of a brick chuck in the winch and recovery gear fridge two kids and the missus LRA fuel tank etc etc etc

Thats why mine will be either turbo charged or supercharged soon(have the blower already).

on trips where i sit on 100, i can get just under 10 litres per 100 km...which really surprised me. ive got the spark timing set forward about 8 degrees i think and run premium petrol... around town i can make the fuel needle visibly drop with the right amount of right foot haha.

Ive had around 4 vl's (3 turbos and 1 non turbo) in my 15+ years of driving and all have got over 500kms easy to a tank cruising on open road. Admittedly around town its so hard to compare. What some people call city driving is different to others perceptions of city driving. Anywhere from 350-450kms with really short trips and heaps cold starts could be considered normal.

my vl would be lucky to reach 300km on a full tank but it doesnt run rough or chug black smoke but my work is only 5-10 minutes away

[VL_5SPEED]

VL turbo - around 500kms per tank

[HARVZ-6]

first vl, converted 5 speed, 20degrees advanced, afm setup, extractors, no cat 2.25" system 500+ks to a tank

2nd factory 5 speed, same tune, stock exhaust 600+ ks open road

current vl - auto calais, same tune, 2.5" exhaust 450 ks

Wow you guys are getting really varied results.. I was just thinking about this for my vl. My old vl on gas used to get **** all. extractors exauast auto on gas, i used to have about a 50 litre tank and it would get maybe 300 on a good week, my current vl is 5 speed, extractors exhuast CAI and it gets maybe 350 to 400. Maybe, depends on how i drive if i flog the shit out of it, i cant get down to about 200 in the right conditiions.. I mean i've gone on cruised done arount 120 k in a night ansed over half a tank..

i'd love to know how to get mine up to 500 around town :S
