hey, what are 5ltr's and 5.7ltrs like on fuel if u dont hammer them

Fairly good, I know some of the 5L's on the forums are getting around 15-16L per 100kms around the city. I presume the LS1's are pretty much the same. But as soon as you put your foot down expect fuel consumption to go through the roof.

my worked EFI 5L gets around 10-10.5L/100km on the highway.
Haven't really measured fuel consumption city cycle though

It comes down to how you drive them and what sort of mods... You dont buy a V8 to save you money.

In my LS1 i get around 22L/100km if i drive gently, up to 40L/100km if really pushing hard. Its not a daily driver, so i really dont mine. I do get sick of filling up though (not so much the cost, just the time and effort).
