Fuel Economy Per Tank Of Fuel

[Timo]

VQ Statesman
5LV8 with some work done to it
Get 300km highway driving if i run till the 70L tanks dry
Dont even ask about economy around town

[tysons_2001]

damn thats bad, i get about 400 on the highway as a rough guess with 4.11s and a cam. Uses about the same as the vr v6 did

[Pub247]

wow havent posted here yet my VP gets 450km out of a tank in city/town driving thats with a bit of hard acceleration aswell. Highway dont know i'd say 600 or more. ATM according to the trip computer i'm averaging 14.4 litres per 100klms

[tysons_2001]

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.

I make about 600ks per tank in the VP, 70% highway, I can make 140ks from the last 1/4 notch to the red line on a highway cruise too

[crazyspoon05]

I'm getting around 490-520 k's per tank with mainly stop start city driving on one tank of fuel in the wagon (68 litres)

[Boonz]

my vp is averaging around 600 k's to about 60ish litres, 80% highway 20% town-flex- rally lol... the best its done is 690 k's at 115 km/h and it was just on the redline on the gauge when i filled up

[AirStrike]

Just thought I would clarify tank sizes, because im seeing people list ones that dont excist.
VN
Sedan (V6) - 63lt
Sedan (V8) - 80lt (some early VN's had a 85lt tank)
Wagon (V6) - 68lt
Wagon (V8) - 68lt
Ute (V6) - Don't know
Ute (V8) - Don't know

vnv6, the most ive got was 180kms out of 20ltrs of petrol, havent had a full tank in a year :P but i think it was 480km

thats around the suburbs

[MasterOfReality]

VP V8 Calais (180kW HSV enhanced, auto).
80 litre tank.
Fuel light goes on when around 65 litres has been chewed through around town - get around 350km out of that 65 litres.

City consumption ranges from 17.5 l/100km to 23 l/100km.

Highway driving usually sits at around 10.4 l/100km to 11 l/100km, so I get over 700km to a tank on the highway before the fuel light comes on.

Hi there I have a VX SS 5.7 fitted with extractors and duel exhaust running on standard unleaded fuel, I did a test last week and returned 11'19 klms to 1 litreof petrol I think this is good.

Hey all...
Post whether you have a 6 or an 8 Fuel tank size & how many km's you get per tank of fuel & what octane you run..

Cheers
