hey guys just wondering what sort of fuel consumption you are getting out of a HOLDEN v8 efi. in gq.

ive searched but it seems to get hijacked with 4.5L v8 fuel consumptions etc. and more people would have them by now

mine is getting about 35L per 100km runing 4" lift, 35s and giving it a bit here and there, all round town. no speed sensor.

thanks.

Hi kegz , mate I get about 18-20L / 100K's, running VN V8 , 33's , 2" lift and I don't baby it :twisted: ,I do have a speed sensor , it could make a difference but also check ur O2 sensor if its stuffed it could use more fuel.Also 35's could give false Km's reading compared to 31's -33's hope this helps.

Cheers Mick..
