    Default Fuel Economy Per Tank Of Fuel

    Hey all...
    Post whether you have a V6 or V8, 5ltr/ls1. Fuel tank size & how many km's you get per tank of fuel & what octane you run..

    Cheers
    MaT

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

    with these fuel figures around town - is that including amount left in fuel tank prior filling up? e.g. fuel gauge says I have 100kms left and 450kms covered so far - so that means 550 kms per tank in total

    VX V6 gets me about 630k to a tank. That is using a combination of city suburban and freeway peak hour. Not bad.
