    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?

    Vehicle: 1991 VN Exec. V6.
    Transmission: Auto
    Tank Size: Ohh crap I can't remember..68L???
    Octane: Standard 91.
    Kms per tank of fuel: TBA

    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.

    What could be better, you get pulled over for doing a skid, the police offer a free adjustment, a couple of good whacks later, the reception is far clearer then ever before.
    Nothing like a bit of good old community service.

    Tank Size: 60L i think
    Octane: BP Ultimate
    Kms per tank of fuel: 400-600km/tank depending on driving style, when and where im driving.
    Once a Mercedes is up to cruising speed it lopes along easily and is happy sitting on 180+ km/h all day. Please check the speed limits in your area before attempting this…

    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
