P.S- Will be posting in all sections to try to get ideas of fuel economies per model.

I was gonna say SPAM!!!!!!!!! With all the threads you made.

Not sure what Rubys running at right now, will have to check. So I'll reserve this space for the next week or so, and edit it once I find out.
Maybe also get people to post transmission?

Wouldnt how many L per 100km's be more easier? Easier to compare between models etc.?

[Full Spectrum]

1992 VP Commodore. Weight above factory.
3.8lt V6.
4 speed Auto.
Differential factory stock.
Mods 2.5" cat and exhaust System, CAI, Bellmouth removed.
Fuel used Caltex Vortex Gold 98.

Tank size??? it might be 71 litres i fill up with a min of 66-67 litres per fill off empty and the tank has large dint in it.
I get 455km average on a tank, And it's local off highway driving with the od 2-3 stop ring road trip.
about 14.5L/100km. I haven't done a long highway trip in it as yet.

Funny story after i removed the bellmouth i got 20-30km better fuel economy after it.

[immortality]

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
