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.......

so your telling me my vt doesnt tell me average fuel? lol all your posts make me laugh

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.

will try that thanks

mate ur vt wont tells u ur fuel average unless its a vz/vy/ve or u got the 3 window dash. i remember once i drove my friends vz holly crap u can view heaps of handy information like average fuel consumption , litrs used not remaining , date and time u can even recalibrate fuel gauge aswell and heaps heaps of more things and on the top of that all these information stays permenantly on dash.

well all that i can do on my VT as its a calais, the point i was making was that info isnt limited to vy/vz's thats all just need a level 3 cluster on lower models

Too many to list......
VT Wagon I get around 380-400 (V6 Auto)
VX2 Sedan I get 450-500 (V6 Auto)

Doesn't really improve a whole lot on the highway maybe get 500 out of the wagon and 600 from the sedan.
