here's the thing

my dash gauge always says 75 litres but you can barely get 60 in there so all the "distance to empty" kms are wrong

i would guess at best i'm getting 350-380km out of 60 litres

i do mainly urban and i do drive a bit aggressive

I get roughly 12L/100km, driving mostly through 60km and 80km zones (rural driving mostly).

If I drained the tank dry I would get about 600-650km from it. I'm a p plater so on the freeways I'm cruising at 90, which is good in a way cause the car's a bit more fuel efficient than at 110. So I get some 800+ if I drained the tank.

I've got a manual and it's really well serviced, that would probably explain my economy.

ha ha... the funny thing bout vt/vx is the bloody gauge and the distance to empty is always fake never trust them at all u have to do ur own calculations otherwise u have to owe a vz or vy so u can view the average fuel. the stupied bloody holdens once decided to put all the extra options in the dash for models like vy/vz ect.......

1000 kms holley ####. lollllllllll the best thing mate to do is to get the L/h from the hidden extra in the dash amd to cruise at 100 km at that moment u will see how much fuel urs is wasting at 100 km per hour.

VX fuel guage is ####ed as i have driven about 50kms while the dash says i have 0km in the tank and go to fill it and and can only fit in around 70 litres in a 75ltr tank
