LS1 Fuel Economy Figures

[johnvtls1]

You always here people saying dont buy a V8 cos of fuel blah blah so last week i decided to test how much fuel i was actully using. Last week i did a bit of driving some highway some around town and there were a lot of 5 minute trips hear and there so i guess that doent help too much. Anyways I did a total of 340kms and filled up today a total of 45.77 liters.

45.77/340*100 = 13.46 liters per hundred

Now i dunno about everyone else but i think this is pretty decent for the size of the engine/mods/type of driving. The car has near enough to 300kws and in theory should run 12's at the track. Mods are extractors/exhuast, otr+tune, 3.7's in the diff. Just thought i would share cheers

I did 3 full tanks around town and averaged 11.3, was 11.6 according to trip computer, 11.3 according to initial fill and following fills.

Mods are zorst, otr and tune.

[levymetal]

those figures are awesome. i loved it when i used to tell people i wanted a v8 and they'd laugh in my face and go "do you realise how much fuel costs?". yeah bud, about $10 a week more than your excel. and what could you do with that $10? get a couple of meals at maccas? i'll bring my own lunch those 2 times and drive my v8.

not an ls1 but my 5.0ltr tells me 15.5l/100 inner city + highway. haven't calculated the correct amount but is the computer on the vps usually accurate, inaccurate or what?

Should post up your average speeds if you can do it also.

11.6/43.8km/h(as per trip computer)

What is the definition of driving around town? Bumper to bumper traffic in Melbourne is not classed as around town is it?
