whats your fuel economy on a vt/ vx commodore?

[lufkin]

around town i get about 400-500km open road trips, i do regularly Adelaide to Melboure i can get 900km, car = VT Calais v6 NA

[1dvsbstd]

hmmm well im just wondering mine must need a desperate service.. im only getting 300-350 out of one tank and thats literally babying it everywhere.. LOL>.... go the NA v6 ...

[lufkin]

check stuff like oxygen sensors on exhaust

[TonyJZX]

you really really really don't wanna know

i have an LS1 6 spd...

[Cameron P]

if i baby my car i get between 600-700km's per 75l tank.. half the km's are highway the other half are around "town" << n/a manual v6

[nzBrowny]

about 700kms to 65litres. mixed roads. vx v6 stock manual.

[Cameron P]

65 lites =S

[1dvsbstd]

well it hasnt been serviced yet still gotta get around to it..
But hopefully i get some better fuel economy out of her shes a na rocker stocker

[1dvsbstd]

Ild understand if it were a v8 or a ls1 like yours tony

[TonyJZX]

here's the thing

my dash gauge always says 75 litres but you can barely get 60 in there so all the "distance to empty" kms are wrong

i would guess at best i'm getting 350-380km out of 60 litres

i do mainly urban and i do drive a bit aggressive

[1dvsbstd]

well see heres the thing.. i dont even drive the car aggressivly.. just literally grandpar mode as i cant be F**Ed thrashing this vt as i blew up the last one..
Still feel the same fuel economy.. still its interesting to know some things bout it haha

Best I've got was 950, worst was 300. Usually get 550-600.

[MikeCuzzy]

I get roughly 12L/100km, driving mostly through 60km and 80km zones (rural driving mostly).

If I drained the tank dry I would get about 600-650km from it. I'm a p plater so on the freeways I'm cruising at 90, which is good in a way cause the car's a bit more fuel efficient than at 110. So I get some 800+ if I drained the tank.

[1dvsbstd]

damm theres something wrong with my car if u guys are getting such great fuel economy ahahahaha

[Kieran263]

I've got a manual and it's really well serviced, that would probably explain my economy.

ha ha... the funny thing bout vt/vx is the bloody gauge and the distance to empty is always fake never trust them at all u have to do ur own calculations otherwise u have to owe a vz or vy so u can view the average fuel. the stupied bloody holdens once decided to put all the extra options in the dash for models like vy/vz ect.......

[MR_VX]

on my dash is says 1000kms for a full tank. which i think is a load of turd. i also dont trust the distance to empty. I think i get around 500 or so mines a supercharger 6 manual vx s

[rocket0000]

1000 kms holley ####. lollllllllll the best thing mate to do is to get the L/h from the hidden extra in the dash amd to cruise at 100 km at that moment u will see how much fuel urs is wasting at 100 km per hour.

[tdirago]

if i baby it like a slut i get around 650-700 for about 70ltrs...

VX fuel guage is ####ed as i have driven about 50kms while the dash says i have 0km in the tank and go to fill it and and can only fit in around 70 litres in a 75ltr tank

will try that thanks

mate ur vt wont tells u ur fuel average unless its a vz/vy/ve or u got the 3 window dash. i remember once i drove my friends vz holly crap u can view heaps of handy information like average fuel consumption , litrs used not remaining , date and time u can even recalibrate fuel gauge aswell and heaps heaps of more things and on the top of that all these information stays permenantly on dash.

[Kieran263]

Yeh unless you have a level 3 cluster (birthday list addition ) you only get crap readouts.

well all that i can do on my VT as its a calais, the point i was making was that info isnt limited to vy/vz's thats all just need a level 3 cluster on lower models
