Just a quick topic directed at people who own 5litres... How many ks do you get out of a tank? How much would you spend on fuel a week? Is it much different to a vlt? Cheers.

HA HA if you own any 5ltr you will soon forget the term "economy" mine (mildly worked) will get about 6 km per litre, or roughly 17.0ltr/100Km on the highway, dont want to think about city driving to be honest. I remember my NA calais used to get about 9 Kay a litre highway so probably the same with turbo, obvioulsy ALOT less when boosting with a heavy foot

Cheers. for a carb v8 - 250k's or so to a tank full... mine is daily driven (most of the time on Gas though as it's dual fuel. - probably best posted in the v8 section though.

Yeah jamiep I just noticed I pasted in the wrong section. LOL.

Moved.

mine is fuel efficient only when i go the normal pace, but when i use the first and second gear change it chues the fuel, that coz im using 1st slowing at a very high rpm. ( go the mighty v8 )

how long is a piece of string....

i can get to geraldton on a tank of juice and still have a few k's left over vt 5 litre get about 500 k's to a super full tank that was on the way home anyway

i sniff the fuel at differing rates,so consumption varies.

i put in $60 andi get about 320-340k's. it really depends on the traffic and if i cain it

buy a push bike then you wont have to worry about it lol

vr 5ltr i get 400kms a tank thats a drop tank as well.

i just went from a vlt to a vn v8 stroker and the difference is pretty big i put $80 roughly a week and all in all i drive maybe 100 - 150 kms max. but u cant beat the sound of a tuff v8

Full tank for me gets me abit less than 300kms

while I had the GTS with the blower on it workin properly, i went through $90 of ultimate in a weekend driving prob 3 hours a day. not to shabby. Personally i couldnt give a rats if my weekender used 30litres per 100km, so long as it goes like **** off a shovel.

My 5 litre is more economical than my old ecotec... i get about 450km out of a tank

Less than 320 for me, all princess/springy rd driving but.

i get around 300k's a tank in a vr 5lt manual

i own 2 5Ls a vs and a vq stato and i dont think they are that bad on fuel it depends how you drive it and like bt130t said you cant beet the sound of a5L
