VX II Berlina
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a VX series 2 Berlina, and am wondering what the average kilometres i should be getting out of a tank of fuel. I use unleaded 95, and i try to not floor it...

97 VS equip, 4.2L stroker on its way.
I have a vs ecotec auto, and I get 9.6l/100km on average. About half my driving is on the freeway between Newcastle and Rutherford. It's a dead stock car besides MACE memcal and I run my tires at 38psi. And I try not to put my foot down too much.

It is serviced well though with new leads, plugs, oils and filters.

Also I always run it on shell 98, always have used it in all of my cars.

VT Calais L67 (conversion)
my tank is around 3/4 full (maybe a bit less) at the moment and the trip computer indicates there's 400km left until empty.... for what its worth.
