2008 Vellfire Fuel Economy

[Alan Singer]

I just did a round trip - all freeway driving mostly at 100km ph, with 20% of the trip @ 80kms per hour (For those who know Melbourne, I drove from Moorabbin to Mornington and back.
And I got 100 kms for 9.33 litres of BP 98 Ultimate - and yes - My Vellfire is the 3.5 litre 6 cylinder.

The Vellfire is an absolute DREAM to drive - effortless, heaps of acceleration when needed, smooth, quiet - quite extraordinary really.

What is your experience with fuel consumption in a similar rig?
What do you get with the 4 cylinder model?

Any comparative info greatly appreciated,

Alan

I was around 11.2l/100km running @140km/h on the cluster for a trip of 2400km with the 3.5l v6, running full SP95-E10.

 

With full E85 (with a kit) it's 13.8l/100km.
