09 VE SSV Sportswagon
I'm getting 16l/100ks avg speed around 23kmh Sydney CBD and 7.8l/100ks avg speed 73kmh.

That's in a 2010 SV6 auto. That's not being a nana ether.

That's with the engine light on with a long term fuel rich code. So getting O2 sensors replaced next week. See what happens then....

ouch...poor bastard

My mower and whipper snipper cant run on e10 lol...

This is the fuel consumption in my v6.. not being a economical driver either lol. Just got plugs changed and its already going down on fuel :)



Edit: Blue dotted line is fuel consumption.. seemed to go up when I got the exhaust.. I just like the sound of it :)

What app is that?

Stay away from E10 & 91. They are crap quality and your VE will drink like a fish if you use them. That **** is for lawn mowers and garden equipment.

why do you say 91 is crap?

It's perfectly fine for a standard car that's made to run on it, just no good for a leaded, tuned or performance car.

VE SSV Special Edition
my 2009 ve ssv special edition 6L v8 6speed manual runs on 98pulp and does around 450km 13.3-13.5L/100km (60Litres fill up) around town mostly 60 to 80km speed limits. on the highway it's about 9.0L/100 and about 700km and seen as low as 8.7L/100km sitting on 100-110km per hour.

I've tried one tank of e10 fuel and only got about 400km out of a tank and all was highway driving sitting at 110km per hour. i'm saying this now because it ain't going back into my car's tank. waste of money for crap fuel

your owners manual should say which fuel is recommended for your v6, as my ve v8 owners manual recommend i use 98 pulp but can run on other fuels including e10
