MY09 VE SS M6
700km trip this weekend trip comp reckoned I had 9.9L/100k's average in the 5.7 calais, filled once when I left sydney. When cruising 110 on the freeway it gets well under 10, sometimes more like 7L/100k's. Around town its kinda shocking...

WH Manual LS1 Statesman & VT V6 Calais
my manual ls1 stato gets 6-7L/100km on open road not sure if thats todo with the tune though, but my v6 vt calais used to go from melbourne to adelaide everyvweekend for a year on 1 tank easy with about a quarter of a tank left, would do 900-1000 k's of pure highway driving around town in the calais is another story, but the stato seems to better on fuel then my 6 in every condition for some reason so would be interested to see what i can get out of a full tank of highway driving in it

Round town, damn lead foot. It is what it is.

2001 VX Calais L67
Modded supercharged v6 VX S 2.
Getting 18L/100km around town (extremely short trips, 4kms/day...) or 24L/100km with spirited driving around town...;
9.0L/100km when cruising at 100km/h on the highway.

May be improved now with MACE chip, still driving on first tank.
