Fuel Economy Per Tank Of Fuel

[yZoH]

Hey all...
Post whether you have a 6 or an 8 Fuel tank size & how many km's you get per tank of fuel & what octane you run..

Cheers
MaT

P.S- Will be posting in all sections to try to get ideas of fuel economies per model.

Ve Calais V6, 73lt tank
Im only squeezing about 540ks out of a full tank travelling to and from work
(90k zones) and around town......no expressway running. The gauge estimates an average of around 12.4-12.6l per 100k.
Bit disappointing as my VZ SV6 could be squeezed to 600k but.......I did think the VE was going to be better.

for the different models as he has stated in the first post


VE SSV V8 6L Manual
73L fuel tank
Ultimate 98 or Vortex 98 ONLY
getting about 16.5L/100km of mainly city/peak hour driving with some freeway
car has less than 1000km and is still in running in process so thin oil and running really rich
so after 3000km it should drop...plus going to put extractors, high flow cats and catback with a tune so should get EVEN better
better than my HSV VXII R8 Manual which sat at 19L/100km same driving and that had 50,000km

VE SSV V8 6L Manual
Ultimate 98
I get about 11.2L/100km driving to the shop and highway use
But if i drive around town I get 13.9l/100km
I seem to get about 450-600kms per tank depending on where i need to go.

When I drove up to the gold coast it was 10.1l/100 but I had 5 people in the car and a full boot.

 

[SV6Sean]

SV6 Manual, Average about 9-11 around the town. 8-9 on the freeways. Get around 550-620km's per 73L tank.

I hired a VE Calais V6 5speed Last Year drive of my life..
4 Adults in the car and we gave it curry all the time went perfect.. Massive hills flying overtakes fast launches..

Distanced travelled 1203km. Litres used 110.92. Litre per 100km... 9.2l/100km All on standard Unleaded fuel. On the way home From Camperdown to Sunshine we got 8.3/100km..
Would have been better if we didn't use the back road freeways to echuca they got some massive hills to climb.

All my fuel econemy drives were km when picked up to return travelled done on km's on trip fuel used on trip but done on paper to be more accurate.

Calais V6 Auto
73 litre tank (but can squeeze in nearly 80 litres)
Until now I have only run regular 91RON unleaded as there is ZERO economy benefit to using premium fuels. However, now I don't drive to and from work I'm going to switch to V-Power for cleaner running and better for the engine benefits. No other reason.


Figures are based on 91RON unleaded:
Around town only 60km - 90km zones: 550km
Highway only 100km - 110km zones: over 1000km (see picture of range)
Combined: anywhere between 600 and 800km

my neighbour has a ve sv6 6 speed and got 1100lms out of a tank, and a vy S2 s pack 5 speed and got 1359kms out of a tank, both with shell optimax

VE Omega V 3.6 6cyl
Regular unleaded
Standard tank size
Just done 452 Kms and low fuel light has come on
Economy is 14Ltr/100
Average speed is 30 Km/hour

The average speed has a huge effect on the Lts/100 (the lower the average speed the higher the Ltrs/100)

It would be interesting to know what the average speed was when they got 1100 Kms per tank ?
