What Kms to a tank of Juice

[crewiess]

Just filled up the tank in the Crewman and managed to get about 310 km and she took just over 60 litres. This was all round town driving. Probably the dealer did not fill the tank right up. But does the engine freeing up improve the economy? What is anyone getting out of the V6 Crewie?

Hey Dinga - I am thinking I am a goose with petrol hitting $1.39 litre and heading further north according to the financial gurus.

But hey what price for drivin a beast you like drivin? There was a bit of showing off going on which involved lots of stop start stuff. Also tank 2 is lookin better.

I reckon it is about $10-$20 per week max over the 175 crewie and I am having a lot more fun. I spend that on rubbish and booze (not while driving) anyway.

You wont believe but I have an AU2 XR6 which is a great steer - it is chuckable just like a go-kart - but I wished I had waited for the turbo version or got the XR8. Cant help myself -bad habits - powerful cars. Never had a slowie - at least not for more than 5 minutes

Dinga - also meant to say was just in running in mode and not giving it to much - only up to about 2700 rpm!!!! Nearly got 500km now so will up it a bit more. Doin lots of hill load in 5th and accelerating

my car has recently ticked over 20,000 km's and the last few tanks of fuel seem to be going alot better, i have been regularly dipping the trip meter into the mid to high 8l/100 .... im driving to the same place and driving the same way .... im not sure why but it is noticably better ...... im not going to complain with the price of fuel these days

My SV8 is getting about 550km per tank with about 70% highway driving / 30% city driving. I reckon I'd get over 700km on a tank if I was just doing highway driving and probably only get 400-450km on a tank for city driving.
