fuel economy

Post by the pill »

g,day have enjoyed this site for a long time, thought it best to jump in, I'm curious about the pre 2001 update VTR's chompin the juice, my beast ( current model 19 ltrs) gives me between 16 and 18 klms. per ltr. consistantly even under throttle duress, and as I've loaded over 27000 k's on, have found no change, reserve comes on 230 to 250 klms, every time, am a happy chappy

Hey Pill,

Firstly, where abouts in Aus are ya?

I seem to be stretching it (b4 reserve) to get 200k's around melbourne town before the last light comes on. I get a bit better out on a run though.
