Redline is now at 12L/100km. Combined highway and town driving. With the odd chomp on the gas here and there. :)

Using Vortex 98 only.

I found the bigger the consumption number per tank... the bigger the smile had been.
waaa I just love my Holden V8s and wow I reckon they have done a great improving inside since my last one (a VY SS ute). The VF is just so sexy inside but back to consumption...focus on the smile factor not the litres being sucked from the tank.

I've repeated this in many-a-thread before, but I will say it again, don't rely on the trip computer for your information. Actually calculate it yourself from the L's you put in and the K's you drive.

My trip computer says I use 13.7 on average, but the actual average is 11.7L per 100km. I also use an app called Road Trip to keep an eye on it.

I have seen as low as 375ks to 603ks to a tank. Worse was E85 around town 33L per 100km. But it was so crisp and perky I couldn't help myself...............

I did an 800km trip yesterday towing a trailer and my fuel consumption was 15.7L per 100km - on LPG. That was worked out by the actual fuel used and Kms driven, not the cars trip computer which tells me that I used 13.4L/100km.

i found towing my empty 7x4 trailer made my fuel consumption go up from 10 to 14L/100 didnt think it would affect a v8 so much

also noticed my trip computer said i done 18L/100 (reset at fillup) and yet actual fuel used n km's was showing 16.4L/100
