fuel consumption question

[fergie_vs]

hey guys,


looking at buying wither a vt ss (5L) or vx ss (5.7L).

just after some rough figures on fuel costs and consumption

how mnay km's u get from each tank? and roughly (due to ever changing fuel prices) how much to fill?


cheers

My Dad use to only ever get about 450 from the VY SS, But he had a heavy foot lol

if its any help my 5L vs gets 19.8 per 100k city driving and drops to 9 to 10L per 100k on the highway. these figures are averages they do vary.

mate its all about how you drive them i have had vn vt and now a vu ss the vn 5 ltre 5 speed wasnt to bad bout 400 to a tank the vt ss was auto when i drove it 300 lol but when my misses drives it she gets bout 550 thats a 5.7 now my daily is a vu ss 6 speed and if i cruise everywhere bout 450 other wise anywhere between 250 to 300 but really if you want to drive a v8 you didnt really buy it to drive like an 80 year old women no fun in that

I usually get 450km for my VTSS, but that is mostly town driving.

VX SS 5.7ltr Auto - 600-650 a tank (roughly $70-80 a tank) Mobil 98 octane.. 80% highway 20% city driving. Stock standard car.

[stews vtss]

vt ss 5ltr 300 to 450ks out of a tank depending on how i drive it. the 5ltrs in vt,s are thirsty

thanks for your help guys. thinking i may be better of with a series 2 and going 5.7. after looking at some consumption stats on redbook and going on what you guys have said they seem to be better on fuel.
