Fuel Economy Per Tank Of Fuel

[CSP]

My 1,020km was the Range when I got to Campbeltown on the Hume Highway after leaving Canberra without refueling and a stop and Sutton Forrest McDonalds.

VE Berlina 2010
3.0 SIDI
Average 11.2/100km over 2,800km with average speed of 41.4km/h
91octane (Climate on 22 for at least half that, mornings mostly)
This was mainly city with a bit of highway driving.

Then 8.3/100km for a short country trip with average speed of 94.6km/h (Tailem Bend to Salisbury for the SA guys playing at home) with climate set to 20 for the most of the trip home, may have crept up to 21-22 by the end.
Same 91octane used.

Edit: 5000km on the car

I get the same figures on my VE SS Man wagon, and use BP ultimate fuel.

17000km on the car so far.

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

Mate I have a VY II S Pack 5 speed and i get no where near 1359km's and wouldn't think I'd ever be able to achieve those numbers even if i was doing 100% highway driving... What sort of driving was he doing to get that???

Hi,

I have now had the following Commodores:

VL 3.0 Manual

VS II 3.8 Manual

VY II 3.8 Manual

VE MY09 SV6 Manual

Over the models, the weight has increased from 1250 to 1725 Kg, or about 38%. Power has increased from 114 KW to 195 KW, or about 71%. Torque has increased from 247 NM to 340, or about 38%. I do not have drag coefficient and frontal area to calculate any changes in aerodynamic drag.

It is an indication of improvemnents that economy has been roughly the same for each model even though weight has increased markedly. My VE is not quite as economical as the VS II and VY II, which were lineball. I averaged about 9.5L/100Km around town in the VS II and VY II, and get about 10.0L/100Km from the VE. On the highway, it was around 7.4-7.8L/100Km for the Ecotech cars and about 7.8-8.2L/100Km for the Alloytech.

With all of them, I have been able to get from QLD to Sydney on one tank routinely, i.e. 850 Km. Around town, I fill up weekly, so do not have a clearly km/tank figure, though I would assume about 600.

At first, I was a little disappointed with the VE 3.6 in comparison to the Ecotech. However, now it has been run in, the difference is chalk and cheese. I much prefer the 3.6.

My 6L SS manual ute has been sitting on around 18.5l/100 according to the dash readout. Put that down to doing a lot of short trips recently and a slightly heavy right foot... Though not as heavy as cheesy's apparently! Seems I need to up the ante!

I run only BP ultimate as it seems to be the cleanest fuel and gives me the smoothest idle and easiest start.

Hi,

SSV 6.0l V8, 6sp Man, Sedan.
Highway at 110kmh usually between 9.5 and 10.2l/100km which equates to around 750km out of tank.
City basically depends on ur driving style anywhere from 14l/100 to 20l/100. (I dont think i would have filled up under 450/500km to tank)
Generally use unleaded only - normally switch to premium in summer months.
