Travel from Penrith - Strathfield return via M4 (non peak hour traffic) Mon-Fri use Cruise control a lot & drive like a granny never over 110kph. get around 750 kms to 70ltrs.

VTS 1 98Yr 720-750 km on average. This is mostly highway with a little city driving. A/C on all the time and use cruise. Very happy with this and I DONT drive it like a granny.

VT Berlina SII V6 standard engine with just over 100,000Km on the clock.
I've averaged last wekend 8.5 to 9.0 liters on normal unleaded @ 95Km/h on the highway using cruise control. I think the fresh morning air helped a bit
There were two people in he car & I have had the boot filled.
Recently replaced the fuel filter, spark plugs & serpentine belt. The air filter is due next.
Oh & I am using standard tyres 205/65R15" with "Dunlop Sport 300E" with silica, which has low rolling resistance. I've had the tires inflated cold inflated to around around 32 to 33 PSI.
So 9 liters / 100Kms was over 800Kms / tank:thumbsup:

Anything over 750km per tank is bs. I have been driving fleet cars since 2002 in the wheatbelt of WA. I have driven VX's, VY's and VZ's and I own a VX and have never got more than about 750 out of a tank (all country driving). Plus we always have 5 cars on hand and there changed over every 6 months or so (because we rake up 100 thou by then), so I have probably had 20-30 cars to compare.

My first tank of fuel is now half empty, and I'm on 400kms (98 VT 3.8L Auto). Then again, I commute from the Blue Mountains to Sydney. Will let you how far it goes :W00t:

I have a VT S 3.8l 5 speed manual. pure city driving I get bout 530km to a tank. On the freeway I get bout 8L to 100km. so about 700 to 800km per tank. Awsome economy.

 

[gyp23]

Tank finished, and I got 750kms for 60L. Not bad, not bad at all for a V6. I'm impressed! That's the same consumption as a little 1.6 4 cyclinder I just gave away.

Nice economy there GYP23. In my previous post I forgot to mention that I only stopped about a dosen times or so during my trip & I drove like grandpa. So that helpd my fuel economy
