To improve the life of your engine it is recommended to run premium unleaded with alloytecs

Adventra SX6 190kw 75l tank, mostly suburban driving on a good tank 13-14L/100 but can be around 16L/100 the more time I spend near the city.

Trip to Albury and back yielded only 550km per tank (took about 68 litres to fill). She likes the taste of it that's for sure...

Just got back from Brisbane , left on wednesday morning at 4-30 am QLD time with a full tank $1-27 a litre unleaded, i refueled just before Newcactle as the warning low fuel was flashing even though it showed i had only used 54 litres
and i was averaging 7.7 litres per 100 and i wasn't driving slow doing just over the speed limit all the way.
By the time i got home i had done 1002 km and used 78 litres not too bad for a v/6, i would of got a lot better but i struck sydney at peak hour when i exited the F3 about and it took me about 1 hr to get to Penrith in slow traffic all up it took me 11 hrs and 45 minutes .

VY SS series1 manual, not sure how big the tank is, but if i run it into the red on the fuel gauge it takes about 60L of fuel. I fill it with 98 octante. Anywhere between 350-450km, some city some freeway. About 15L-18L per 100km.

Very impressive figures.The V6 loves been driven on long trips with fuel economy to boot and I would rather that for reliability than a 4 cylinder any day.
