hey man, im just telling it how it is...the vk is notoriously thirsty.
have a look at that chart, on highway driving both the vk and vt jump up in consumption compared to their surrounding models.
true but i doubt any vb/vh will get 8L/100 k's on the highway, and my vk doesnt use 13L/100 k's in the city either, more like 11, and as most ppl no im not a slow driver

vs is more efficient than a vt due to weight difference and gearing. Although vt will go a longer distance as it has a 75L fuel tank compared to vs 59L (v6 im talking about). So the bigger tank makes up for the poorer fuel economy i geuss??

We had a manual VH 202 from new and it used to get 8.5l/100 when new on the highway. I'm pretty sure that chart up there ^ is for base models (manuals)
