Well I can get about 500-550 a tank well that's what the speedo say but I have bigger than standard tyres on so I guess it's really about 600km

Well for my 2.5L GV, i get about 450kms a tank city if i am a leadfoot, which kinda happens alot, as i really like the growl of my new exhaust system, he he... and 500kms city if i take it easy, and on h'way, i could easily get 550+kms per tank... :wink:

My 99 2.5 manual GV does 550-600km per tank on 225/74/16 with 5.125:1 diff ratios...

The gears really helped the economy and general drive ability with the larger boots.....

PS: I don't really make any attempt to drive it economically!

A GV tank is 66 litres pretty easy to work out once you know that

what about auto, I have an auto and lucky to get 400km's. i have 29's though.

Is 66L the total tank or is that usuable litres?

I filled up 62L one time - i wasn't game enough to see if the needle goes any lower :roll:

i have a 2007 2.7ltr v6, i get 11ltrs/100kms
most through start stop traffic thou.

havent owned it long enough to know what itd do on a long trip.

Hiya fellas, I'm wondering what's the average fuel economy of a standard GV with the 2.5 and 2.7l V6?

Dont know if you have an owners manual for your GV, but if you look at section 11, page 2, it gives you all the fuel consumption figures... If you dont, here they are - Manual V6 5 Door - City 13.5L per 100km - H'Way 8.3L per 100km - Average 10.2L per 100km Auto V6 5 Door - City 14.8L per 100km - H'Way 8.8L per 100km - Average 11.0L per 100kms But these figures would depend on age/engine kms, and how well maintained/serviced... but the GV really works best h'way, as a tourer

I filled up 62L one time - i wasn't game enough to see if the needle goes any lower When i bought my GV, the car yard was a bit stingy with fuel, i am guessing they only put a couple of litres in... by the time i got near a servo, 10mins later, the GV was coughing when i went around a corner... took me $80 to fill it, i am guessing it was down to 64L dont want it to be that low again
