Hey. I'm looking into getting a vl calais s2 and i wanna find out how much its gonna cost me and stuff so i was wondering if you guyes could help me out.. How is the fuel consumption on your cars? Like on CITY and HIGHWAY driving per 100km. Im interested in how much you use on a vl n/a.. It would be greatly appreciated if you could help me out thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hi i used to get about 450kms out of 50 bucks worth of fuel, it was a 5 speed with 3.55:1 diff ratio (lsd) 2.5inch exhaust extractors. thats driving it like a race car every where

Oh yeah i forgot to mention its auto and lowered. not sure if it would make much of a difference?

if nothing is bungin up, you should get min 450-500 city, 500-550 highway. but if some sensors are sh1ttin themselves that can drop to like 200 a tank. auto n/a should get around 12l/100km. -jimmy

My 3.0L N/A Auto gets 300 - 350kms per tank, but then the O2 Sesnor has been cut - Last owner did it, plus I've forgotten but there's also anyother sensor which is dead, so my VL is over compensating the fuel.

sounds pretty good.. so the vl calais runs about the same as a 4cyl 95 camry? i only know cause my mum has one...

i wish i got those kind of kms in my car im lucky to get over 300 to a tank in my 5.0 litre. which isnt that bad i guess for the thirsty donk.

do a search. this has been covered SO SO many times.

Guys i hate to bringup a old thread...well not really old but anyways. Last week i got my car back from panel beaters.....I have a problem with my car shorting out under heavy acceleration off takeoff between 1.800rpm and 2000 rpm....ive been told its my fuel pumps\regulator.....when i got my car back from panel beaters, 50$ of petrol went in....250k's is all i got from a tank? i couldnt believe this.....has anyone else experienced this stuff before? anyone else think it could be my fuel pumps,regulator? or any other things could be causing this? it doesnt blow smoke ect ect...

bye some electrical contact cleaner from jay car, it's in a green can and about 10 bucks, it worked for me.

ok, dont ask me how, but i managed near 700km to 1 full tank, did it once, and never again Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey just an idea but could it be anything to do with the wider tyres 8" which would ake more power to turn them ?

im only gettin about 300-350 out of a tank aswel

i was getting about 450km from $50 around town and close to 600km on the open road. but since i started moding things it has gone down to about 250km around town and about 400km on the hwy.

what ARE THE SENSORS THAT SHOULD BE CHECKED

or shoud i get the car dynod and tuned properly

depends on if the car has been looked after how many k's? service history?

i just do the general stuff but it has done about 304 000 ks
