hi all, i have been paying attention to my fuel consumption and it is high! i reset the consumption thing before i set out on a trip which consisted of some suburb driving, mostly freeway and some city, a round trip of 50km return with an average 15L/100k's. i couldnt believe it, thats what v8's get. its got a cai and ss exhaust tips, but i dont think these make much of a difference. if anything they should improve economy i thought. i dont drive heavy footed, so i cant blame that.
however when i bought the car i drove it from adelaide to melbourne and it averaged 8.8 litres go figure.....

what are other sv6 drivers getting?

(Its an MY09 sv6)

I have a 2010 SV6 and average abou 10l per 100 .Get about 650 to a tank. Im WOT abit but i i do alot of driving on the highway and im never in traffic. I have the SS inductions CAI and Maloo mufflers and a manual. If you want to reduce consumption try the cruise control wherever possible it makes a differance.

Fuel figures are totally useless without an average speed aswell. What one person calls city driving is totally different to what others call it. I have had people say 50/50 city highway with an average speed of 80kph. My 50/50 city highway average speed would be around 45kph, huge difference.

My SV6 sidi gets 14L with an average speed of 35kph with my wife driving.

On the highway with an average speed of 110kmh it returns around 8L on flatish roads and 8.8 with hills.
