what kind of figures do you guys get? these days im hitting around 12.6 aound town, and right into the 10's for highway, thats only becuase i let the car roll everywhere basically :D haha! Whenever i get a bit excited though, it tends to rocket up towards the high teens and low 20's :ranting:

lol u must be a fairly spirited driver to get that from a v6, ive been trying different ways to save fuel in the last week or so and ive found just keeping an average speed is the best way, like if a roundabout comes up pull a schumacher and cut it

I get around 12-13l/100km around town in my v6, havn't had it on the open road yet.
My vt 5.7 that i had was around the 15.5l/100k around town but was awesome on the highway, lowest i had was 8.9l/100k going up the hume to wodonga, constant speed tho'!
