your fuel economy on a vt /vx commodore

[Dice]

my ls1 gets about 400km on 60L and thats all urban driving

plus over here in kiwi land 98 is about $2.30 per litre so its getting rather expensive these days lol

 

[wylie27]

$2.30 a litre? Do they use gold as an additive???

I thought our $1.60 for pulp was a rort.

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.

Can you let me know the improvements? Very interested!

Oh yeah , they have fair maidens at every station who service your car at every fill up

I go to fill it up at servo, and even though it is completely empty, it only lets me put around $65 (40-45 litres) and with that I only get 300km. What is wrong?

 

[sss1600]

I reset mine a few weeks back and drive approx 70km round trip to work and back but dont have to stop at any traffic lights. Some 50kmh zones the rest 80kmh country roads. Including some drives to my local shops through 50 and 60 zones its averaging 55kmh and 12.9lt/100km...

my statesman is pretty good on fuel considering its a V8, around town its 9/10km per litre, but the open road is where it shines

That's impressive. I don't see that sort of economy unless I'm driving downhill. Is your car tuned?
