Supercharged V6, with 3.46 LSD & 12PSI boost running BP ultimate

city - approx 16L/100km (13 if i drive like a grandpa but increases the moment I give it some stick)
country - 7-8L/100km (this surprised me - it actually got better when i put the 3.46 gears in the LSD - dropped from around 9L/100km)

VT Exec II 1999 V6 about 600 - 650+ doing a good mix of highway and around town. I only run stock unleaded or e10 never premium and happy with the results. I am a steady driver as well I like cruisin' with some sweet sounds :).

do you find any difference in economy between unleaded and e10?? i have just started using e10, 1st tankful economy was shocking, now on my 2nd its not going too well so far...

VT V6 Exec, series 1. I get 550-600kms per tank with 5 litres left. I only use regular unleaded, so that's usually the 92 ron stuff.

I would like to use E10, but they don't sell it in WA... not that I can find anyway. :bang:

For me it really depends on how you drive it. If you just cruise and keep the revs under 2000ish, i get great economy. but if you dump it you literally see the fuel metre go down :p

I got 164.21km out of 21.60L.

Which is roughly 13L per 100km.

VX S pac Manual.
11-11.5 ltrs per 100 in city
with 2.5 cat back around 10.25 - 10.75 ltrs per 100 in city driving
long distance i haven;t measured with the catback yet but it was like 8-9 ltrs per 100 doing about 100 - 130kms/h.
oh and mine is a manual vx
i think that is pretty good for a family car.
