car=VN executive
engine=V6 s1
trans=T5
diff= stock
tank=65ltr
mods: headers but standard zorst with rattly muffler. shielded POD filter with CAI and exhaust heat shield. 82 degree thermostat.
average about 400km for about 55ltrs(tank has a dent in the bottom and it can't use all the fuel) but this is 90% stop start driving on very short trips where the engine doesn't even getup to full temp on cold mornings (so it's still injecting extra fuel). with a little motorway driving that goes up to about 500km not a problem. this is before the shielded pod setup with CAI and i've noticed a slight increase but haven't even done one tank yet with this setup and i normally do about 4 weeks per tank and i've been playing with the G-tech this month also

on the highway mine averages 10l/100km but becuase of the 4.11s and the speedo not being calibrated that ends up being 13.34l/100km which isnt too bad. dunno what it averages around town.

im getting around 300-350 to a tank. thats a lot of short trips. to and from work a few times a week is only about 1km away. i really need to go for a decent highway trip without hitting boost to see how it goes.
