Hey mate, firstly nice ute these vu's are really starting to grow on me. i've just got a quick question for you regarding fuel consumption.
I currently own a VT 5.0L and i was wanting to get a ute in the near future, do you think i'll save anything on fuel if i was to get a VU II SS.
And roughly how much u getting out of a tank these days? thanks.
