Just wanted to know how much ur dubs chug..give us a like cents/kilometer or how far out of what size tank and what u drive....just our of interest sake:bounce

i have a 1973 1800 microbus. i usually get 300km out of 35 litres (around $30)
So about 10 cents per km depending on petrol prices. how cheap is it in Qld. in the blue mountains its been floating around the 85c/L mark.(unleaded)

Thats not bad out of the kombi!

I get about 8km/L round the city and say 11km/L on a run in the 74L with twin webers

My 82 auto 2L kombi gets 6km/L round town and 7.5km/L on a run

i do drive it pretty slow. i love seeing those angry faces as they overtake and mutter bloody hippy in a kombi.

we drove the greeat ocean road last week. I got from Adelaide to Mt. Gambier on a 50l tank. (about 400km):thumb
on the way home (via Ballarat, Horsham, etc.) Iwas getting about 350km out of a tank.
that's in a '73 kombi

how do you measure this. i was listening to Dr K on triple J and he said the best way was to fill it up to the same spot and then count the km's (mine is in miles so i have to convert) then next time you fill up fill to the same spot. i.e. i look down the petrol filler.
I think the reason for my good kms is that i drive 30 mins to work every day and there are about 5 lights totla the rest is steady cruisin at 60-80 km/h. not much acceleration.

even though they are vans they are not really good for filling with people/stuff the engine is too small and i can hardly make it up some hills. the fuel intake goes through the roof

Mine is roughly around 10km/L around town and 12km/L on the highway. That's in an overweight unaerodynamic V6 powered Baja :thumb

I get about 300kms out of a tank, would no doubt get more if i didnt have the weber on it (but what would be the fun of that!) say about 8.5km/L, less driving around the city of course.

i run about 9l/100km on the highway and about 13L/100km around town. but am a hoon and plant my right foot. The 9L/100km was a sysdney to brisbane run in 9.5hrs (10mins not moving)

My old Golf III used to get around 9 l / 100 km in town.

My old Toyota Echo used to get around 4.8 l / 100 km on the highway, and around 6 l /100 km around town. I used 40 litres going between Sydney and Melbourne (895 km) when I moved back in 2001 (4.4 l/100 km) as I was following my stuff in a truck which couldn't do more than 90 km/h.

My old Turbo Beetle used to do between 7.3 l/100 km on the highway to around 8.3 l/100 km on my normal daily grind run.

My current C3 auto gets 7.3 l/100 km on my normal daily grind run with climate always on.

I have no idea, but I wouldnt imagine it would be much, I only ever put $15 in goes for a bout 2 weeks. Its all stock 1200

Hi Guys! You are too technical for me.
I have a 1973 Type 3 with 1600 twin carbs. I get about 230 - 240 miles out of 40 litres. I don't know if thats good, but thats what I get. If the wife is driving - well maybe 200 but thats life.

(He is sooo rude, isn't he!!!! - The Wife)

standard 2ltr twincab,with a 1600 gearbox & large sand tyres, averages around 320km/45ltr fuel. but best was around 403km/53.6ltr.

We get about 10l/100 on a continuous highway cruise.

when i bought my manx in capalaba (Brisbane) I drove it home to Bundaberg (approx 400 km) on 15lt of fuel- 5lt of that being 10 year old fuel that was in the tank - also the car hadn't been driven on the road for around 10 years- so its wasn't in a high state of tune.... all i did was change the oil first then fit a battery then i was off home
