Whats ppls lowest fuel consumption

I have a v8 auto berlina vy series 2 the best i have got with city driving is 12.2L per 100 KLM (10KLM of that was on the HWY) The best i have got on the HWY is 8.8L per 100KLM that was acheived driving from bris to pottsville with the cruise control set @115KLM per hour, which is about a 1.5hour drive:thumbsup:

 

Well my best around town is around the 12/100kms and on highway is 7.9/100klms.

stock V6 Auto exec,

get about 11.1 in the city
about 8 on the HWY

 

7.9 Highway - City 10.5 - 11.8 (Depends on how I put my foot down )
Stock VY V6 Manual :thumbsup:

 

i have a vy srz1 ss, stock and i got it down to 12.9 on the weekend freeway driving and bout the 13.4 mark around town, did have it at 15-16l/100km for a while, but currently cruiseing at 13.2-13.4ltrs around town.

 

hmm

you have to consider the conditions, im normally hauling 4 large people 85kg being the lightest, a boot full of crap along the New england highway which is in parts fairly mountainous.....

as for the city driving i also have a tendensy to get stuck in traffic for hours when trying to go from the North Shore to the city, then from the city to parramatta (sometimes in peak hour) for various errands.

 

On a weekly average i get about 15L/100kms driving in traffic to and from work mostly
Im not sure how you guys got it down to like 12L/100kms in the city
On the Freeway the lowest ive got its 10L/100kms

 

freeway best was 7.2L/100km
My usual average is 11.5L/100km, thats mostly short trips and traffic light stopping, no freeways.

 

My best on the freeway is 9.7.
Averages in the city at around 15.
Have seen 45 though...oops.
But hey,she runs 11 sec quarters and just LOVES the odd burnout..

 

lafanter, did you reset that while you where on a freeway or do you generally do alot of highway driving?

 

that makes me feel ****, im getting 12.6L/100km country roads and 15L/100km in the city in my vn 5 speed v6

 

Lol. If i reset mine on the highway in neutral (manual) mine is like 3l/100k

 

yeh its crept up to 14-14.4ltrs/per hundred

 

if you coast down say a mountain and your using gears for compression braking, if the engine is doing 3000rpm and generally over 50km/h the ecu will shut off the injectors so if you reset it then - well you can do the sums

 

I guess it shows the heavier the cars get, the worse the fuel economy.

I get around 8L/100km Freeway, and about 11L/100km city driving in my VR Wagon (V6 Manual).

Thats why i love manual so much, if you take your foot of the accelerator (at any speed) and you're above 800rpm you dont use any fuel. Its only when you drop below 800rpm or put your foot down due you start using fuel again. I guess thats why manuals are so much more economical.

 

VYII V6 5 Speed

Hi,

I average close to 10L/100Km locally driving to and from work, plus general runaround.

Fully laden with three big kids, a boot full of luggage and aircon flat out at Christmas, I average 8.0L/100Km driving from Penrith NSW to the Sunshine Coast QLD in less than 12 hours (average speed 90 KPH). I have a three window cluster that has been calibrated to be extremely accurate.

My best consumption has been 7.4L/100Km over 800Km, driving around the speed limit.

My best "Distance To Empty" has been, 2,204Km. That was acheived when refueling after driving downhill from Bilpin towards Richmond and Penrith using 0.0L/100Km for much of it as the car was coasting in gear so much.

I know people with 4 cylinder auto buzz boxes that don't do much better than I do. I use cruise control whenever possible.
