Were talking petrol here,VT/VX having the same 3.8lt ECOTEC Motor,should deliver identical economy,about 500-600 on average depending on your right foot and driving conditions.

well if ya not on gas all VT/VX's have a 75 litre tank so thats wat most ppl r workin off id say unless they state they r on gas n got a smaller tank???

Even if you have LPG there is no reduction in the petrol tank capacity (75L)
unless you had a dedicated LPG only system and you wouldn't have a petrol tank at all.

btw, there aren't many dedicated LPG only systems ,mainly all are dual fuel systems.

You'll find that the VX motor has 5 kw more power and is supposed to be more efficient and smoother. I have a VX and VT. The power difference is noticable. No too sure about economy though
I'll find 5kw more power in a VX!!! And I'm driving a VT.........More fool me..

VX Comodore Aclaim 2000
haha,I suspect my VX fuel gauge doesnt work or Ive been luck to be continually topping up my tank between 3/4 and full for the past six months according to the indicator, so has anyone worked out an average per 1 litre, I know its only a litre but I would be good to know as making calculation on a full tank is fine but doesnt realy give any indication of what I may use or how far one could travel on say just $5 of fuel as I suspect there would be alot of us out there who just keep topping up the tank or cant afford to or never run it dry, Ive always made a practice of keeping a few litres in the tank and never run dry as many do so knowing the average of one litre would be handy, I have been calculating my own fuel consumption using the litres purchased and the trip computer assuming I use 8.2 litres per 100 kms which seems to be a safe figure to start with but to be honest I havent got a clue , whats your thought?
