Honestly - you guys are forking out WAY to much cash on petrol, get your cars tuned and put some of that $$ in petrol back in your pocket!!

I don't usually pay attention to my fuel consumption for the VL's as i don't drive them often enough to worry about it. However i did achieve just over 9.3L/100km on a trip a few years back. 56L of fuel would get you past 600km with that rate of consumption and can be easily done with a 63L tank in a manual VL Turbo. I wouldn't suggest that anyone tries to match the 846km i clocked up on that tank of fuel as even if you have the long range tank as used in some BT1's and the Walkinshaw you'll be running on fumes. With my automatic VL Turbo i have seen around 12L/100km on a few club runs which i figured wasn't bad considering it certainly wasn't being driven for economy. 450km should be easily done on a stock tank.

New 02 sensor, etc helps often, they are supposed to be replaced at certain intervals, but everyones too much of a tightass to do so. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
