How low can you go? (fuel economy)

[Goose!!!]

my v6 manual has surprised me, 10l/100km around town and it can get down to 7l/100 on the highway.... Its got 145,000ks, extractors, high flow cat and straight through exhaust, 2x cold air intakes and a sheilded k&n filter...

1995 VS Exex Auto, 150,200km

Country driving 10.5L/100km
City Driving 14.8L/100km

The one constant about my car is that it has always been relatively good for fuel consumption

1994 VR-S Auto, 260000Kms, Driven firmly but not to hard.

Metro driving 15.3L/100Kms LPG, ~12-13L/100 ULP.

I'm loving the gas, $25 for 400Kms! :w00t:

I have still not managed any better than 16L/100klms for every day driving, and @ the moment i am not that concerned with it as im trying to really focus on the charger and getting it sorted! Then i will get around to the Calais and get stuck into that after the super6 goes in , wich will probably see the end of my fuel problems or not.......

Dont know if you have looked at the calibration of the trip computer in your Calais - but are the raw figs (not using the trip comp) saying 16 Lt?

have you changed your coolant lately. you would be suprised at the difference with a radiator flush and the right mix coolant. the wrong coolant or old coolant can cause electrolisis which affects your earth/ground system. with the right coolant my vs v6 wag does 7.4 l /100k highway 10.3 around town.

maybe an idea to if your listing your fuel figures is to tell us what fuel you guys use to, which might be interesting.
