Looking at buying a VT whats fuel ecomnomy like

[willy]

Hi to all i have a VS ute and i get about 350-400k to a tank, and i am looking at buying a VT and was wondering what kind of fuel economy they get.

also what is the difference between a Executive, Berlina, Acclaim, Calais, etc.


Thanks in advance

Although your vs and the vt both having the same engine, the vt has allot more mass and you can tell by fuel consumption, i have both a vs and vt and i can tell you a vt uses quite a bit more. But if you are worried about the rising cost of petrol, take the goverments offer up and get it converted to gas and get a $2000 rebate.

Execuitive is like the base model nothing special
Berlina not sure of difference (elec windows)
Acclaim - not sure of difference
Calais - electrics all round cd player, grey skirting... and so on normail calais stuff

you would be better of googling it and looking what exactly comes out on each model

Check out this link for info on the various models.
350-400k from a tank is crap.
My VX gets about 550k around town and up to 750k on the freeway.

i have a vt wagon which sees almost no highway use at all these days, and get 510k's to a tank
i drove from canberra to bris over last christmas and the 'distance to empty' read 900 km's to a tank by the time i got to bris
i only used up 2.5 tanks on the whole trip so i think that it was a pretty reliable reading

i can get between 650 (around city) - 820 (country driving) out of a tank tho it depends how hard u drive it also of corse thrashing it will use more lol plus im pretty sure the VT has a bigger tank than the VS?????

Correct wrx884:thumbsup:

The VT sedan has a 75 L tank

The VS sedan has a 59 L tank

Hi,

I have just bought a VT Wagon, 99, with 160K on clock. Its an executive, so its a base model. But it has a 60litre tank, and I get an average 640k out of it. I havent done any real Freeway driving yet tho. Its a real good buy, and as its a base model, you can pretty much do what you want to it. Id definately buy another !

Congratulations on getting your VT and welcome to the forum. You should have a 75L tank unless you have gas.
