The Super6's are nice to drive, love the quiet get up and go.
I enjoy taking mine out for a drive now and then.
I drove a friends 2002 VX Calais Super6 some time ago, and that was Dual Fuel and drove great on Gas and Petrol,
I find mine is fairly fuel efficient, keeping in mind its all stock.
13 L/100k suburban
approx. 9.6 on trips, especially up and down the hume highway.

I did find 2 items with mine,
- has a hesitation when its cold, but when its warmed up a bit, it accelerates nicely.
- sometimes doesn't return to idle (approx 750 rpm) sometimes, replace the IAC and TPS with new ones, and then tried also S/hand ones, but seems to have settled down now.

I recently bought a vt calais l67 myself, I'm getting 10L per 100km on U95 longer drives and 11L per 100 round town. My old vt wagon used to chew the fuel compare to this

- VT Calais super6
Actually considering buying a VT calais because 1. I hate all the electronic bits that die: that will be 3k to fix a sensor somewhere and 2. I had a VT plain 6 back in 07-16 and it turns out if you just do the exhaust and a few other basic things (i did end up spending an obscene amount if $,on it because i could. But i found it funny that it had better economy than smaller hybrids 12 years younger than it at the time. Now ive come accross a Calais that somehow has less than 200 on the clock (yes i checked for any messing around) it is in such good condition that it looks 4 years old. Apart from the shocks needing to be replaced it is fine- the important part is that barring some major part failure i can fix the thing on the side of the road if need be with a paperclip and a peice of string XD, and for a 10k total investment, it wont have to last long to be worth it, and beinf retired at 33 is very boring. I could turn it into a project and be happy the whole time because it wont shreak at me for going 3k over the speed limit and actually has a handbreak lol.
