I've got my dads vy ss down to 9.8lt/100ks, that was on a looooong drive using cruise most of the way.
On the other end of the scale i've got it up to about 26lt/100k. But usully sits at about 16lt/100k
If its just a 1-3 hour drive on an open road probably get it down to 11 or so

Hope that made SOME sense lol

I had mine down to 8.1l/100k after changing the tune in the engine. This was on a very hot day running in some hills around here. The previous best was 9.2l so there was definately an improvement from the tune.

lowest that I have had mine down to was about 8.5l/100km

I just drove from Penrith to Brisbane and back over the weekend in my manual V6. I used the cruise control almost always.

Into a significant headwind on the way up, got 8.2L/100Km. Easily made it from Sydney to the Gold Coast on the one tank.

Kept the trip computer going for the nil wind trip coming back, and the average fuel consumption had dropped to 7.9L/100Km by the time we got home. That would mean an average of about 7.6L/100Km for the return leg. Filled up at Ballina and still had 1/4 tank back at Penrith.

Average speed both ways was a bit under 90KPH, doing the trip in less than 11 hours on the road.

I am content with those figures, considering the car only has 12,500 km now. May improve slightly as odometer increases.

8.4 for me...

Mine was 9.1 on a long trip, around town 12 with the missus driving 13-20 with me driving lol

[vy_storm]

Had 8.8 on the weekend on a cruise up to Clare....

14.6 around town, 9.8 on the highway (cam/diff gears/tune/zorst) so not that bad

I went to Wodonga & back to the Central Coast NSW over last the Long Weekend & I got 8.2L/100K going down using unleaded & got 7.6L/100K on the trip home using premium used cruise all the time. Too & from work and general running around between 11.6 - 12.6L/100k.

VY V6 Berlina 145,000K's

My best run has been a 100km trip down a freeway when i got a burn of 7.9L/100km. Ive never been able to repeat it though, closest i came on the same stretch of road was 9L/100km.
Must be something to do with wind/tire pressure/weight in car etc

i think its funny that after a tune, a LS1 can get similar fuel usage figures as V6's. I know i am now
Twice the power and similar economy, got to be happy with that(LS1 owners anyway )

[maxy0987]

Yeah but that's not all the time surely? On a freeway you might be able to run similar figures but around town in stop start driving you're still over the 11.5L/100km mark? (thats where my car currently sits, only does short trips in city traffic)
