You are about 1L/100km higher than the normal.

Freeway lowest ive had was 7.7, average is about 8, city is currently 10.5-11

Fuel economy

My VY Ute V6 gets about 10.2 l/100km.

My XR6 (Herrod modified) gets about 11.0 l/100km.

The two cars are virtually the same age and have done nearly the same kms.

2011 VE SV6 II Commodore - Chlorophyll
with my Average Guage It always displays an odd number. I.E. Always displays a 1 after each calculation Instead of rounding it off.

eg:
9.91 L/100km Instead of 9.90 L / 100Km
10.21 L /100km Instead of 10.20 L / 100Km
8.81 L / 100km Instead of 8.80 L / 100Km

anyone else have this problem????

VZ Crewman Cross 6
Gas Guzzling V6 Alloytech

I have a Crewman Cross 6 the computer tells me lies, it tells me 14.6l/100km but I have just managed my best economy to date & it is 68l/400km that is 17l/100km my previous calculation gave me 18.8l/100kms.
This thing drinks fuel life a V8 has less pick up than a VS 3.8l although it does move once it gets past 4500rpm but that seems to take forever to get to. I want more low end torque even at the sacrafice of top end kw's. The old 3.8l motor is far better. Any ideas anyone for more low torque & better fuel economy. Other than stick a V8 in this thing at least I would have power with this outrageous economy.

Had it as low as 7.9 while on a trip to the Sunshine Coast once. I was happy!

vy11 exec LPG
fuel cons

lpg is an option, more litres less cost, my car (VY11 V6 ) has done 30,000 k's since last sept, and it has paid for the conversion, A GENUINE Holden system.
11.5 TO 14 L/100K AROUND TOWN
