My xr6t is finally 1 month old but last tank of vortex only got 350ks . Must admit had a couple of heavy sessions, especially late at night, and only city driving ( why the turbo..
why not!)
Got 400 with the woolies fuel but ran like a tank. Currently on shell and comp says 400k so will see?
Any way to get more mileage?

Umm...drive sensibly! I know it's hard with 240kw under the right foot but basaically it's the only way of saving fuel.

Mate I'd be laughing with 400 k's.. don't know about the rest of the guys but our EF 6 can only get max 350 k's on a tank. I won't even talk about my car!!!
Don't forget fuel consumption gets better once the motor is run in etc.. or so I've heard.

With my ex trusty car the EF 6, I just managed 350 - 370Km. Suprisingly, taking it sort of easy, with XR8 I manage to get about 400+ Km. I'm loving it!

my old EB 6 cylinder would give me 500- 520 per tank (just under 60 litres)... The XR8 gives me around 330-350 per tank and 450 on the highway (with 4 passengers and luggage)... Not bad for a V8... my ED V8 would give me 300-310 for the same tank.
All were/are manual...

kYpez, .. with your stereo, did you have to keep the head unit or did you just add this stuff to the premium ?
The premium doesnt crank much, and I love my music ... :)

Dude my BA XR6 (n/a) was getting around that figure for the first 3 - 4 months (5-6000km).
I'm now getting regularly in excess of 420km per tank.
