valla fuel consumption, how did you go?
48 mpg out of my 1500  but then I did cheat by it being a triple
diamond 1500.
Somewhat amazingly, I got to nambucca and put in 32.19 litres, then got back here.... and put in exactly 32 litres. But the first tank included a trip
to raleigh and a few valla-nambucca-valla loops. So I actually used more fuel slipstreaming fish at a steady 100kmh than I did at 5-10kms over the
speed limit on the way up.

I got about 60mpg (~4.7L/100km) last time I went to Valla. That was when I rode my motorbike
The V6 gets about 31mpg (a bit over 9L/100km) on the highway at the moment, even with the hideous Baja aerodynamics. It's obvious the aerodynamics
suck because it gets about 28mpg (10L/100km) around town. 1 oxygen sensor is dead so it may get better if I fix that...
It gets about the same economy as the 1915 VW engine did.

I would have used less.... But Drifting around the roundabouts with Miss VDub would have cost me a little...
Not worried in the least..... I was happy to be there...

anyone here tried a hyclone fuel saver on a vw??
am real interested as they're supposed to increase power also.....
my Seat Cordoba does 6.5 L and less if i go under the speed limit.
that and smooth driving with favourable elements gives the best consumption on well-tuned cars. incl good brake adjustment !!!(not too tight)

I have no idea!!!!! Just fillled up when I got down to 1/4 full. I am so useless when it comes to information like that! Rod tells me that my 2.0L NB
averaged 7L / 100km and that was doing a tad over the limit (slowed down to smile at Mr Plod!)

I sat on 110km-115km/h all the way home in the Baja Bus with a 2L motor and 1600 gearbox with 31x10.5's and used probably too much fuel, but it was a
blast passing just about everything.........:P

Ok that didn't seem to work the first time so here goes: I got about 9L/100km on way down but was closer to 10-10.5L/100km on way back cos wasn't
trying to drive economically. I'm happy with that for a fully laden '68 1500 s/port. I'm not going to bother with any other fuel other than optimax
or ultimate because it runs too sweet on it.

put the twin-cab on the dyno on tuesday and set-up the 44mm IDF webers on the 2.5litre type-4 tow engine before heading off from Wollongong . Towed
'MANGO' on the open-trailer this year and the ute was packed with tents , sleeping equipment , tools , fishing gear , esky , clothes , 6m x 4m
marque and lots of other crap .
got 16mpg which was great compared to last trip to valla with the enclosed trailer at 10.5mpg .
This year it cost me $320 in fuel alone... but worth it for the valla experience !!
