VY CUSTOM.
But if your engine isnt stock or you've tuned it different, that won't help much.

Get LPG, it costs a bit to install but its damned worth it. I can't tell you how happy I am only to be paying 20-25 at the pump, and less often too! I think some members have installed parts of the gas system themselves as well to save money. It definately works :)

No longer a Commodore
250km from a tank is absoloutley retarded dude.

There's no way that's running right. You should see 400 from it.

edit: you've got 3.08 gears? You should see 400 without a problem. 3.08 is bloody low.

edit: you SHOULD (if it were a normal non-****ed VK EFI) see it there and back with 2 tanks each way and probably a bit to spare at the end, too. I reckon you could squeeze up to 700 out of a tank on the highway.

couldn't agree more ... i got a blue 202 with vk efi, celica 5 speed and 3.08 gears in my torana and mine uses $1-2 per 100km's more than my brothers VS V6 ute gets .... and i can assure you it smokes his ute too.

My VK gets about 300 From a tank, and i must admit to a lead foot. When im conserving a tank for a long trip, by driving gently and sitting on around 95 - 100, she gets about 370.

I have to agree with you. I get around 10k/1L on the hwy. Which equates to around 600 kms to the tank. I know the VL lovers and VK haters out there will arc up but the 3ltr VL motors would do well to beat it.
