Ok, so I posted this last night, but some fool deleted my post.
Not that it was hugely interesting, but none the less, why!?

Anyway, just some basic info travelled from London to North Peak district and back. 335 Miles with a fill before I left and again on return.
63.55 L which works out at 23.8 MPG. Considering stock was no better than 25, I think thats pretty good for 50% more power than stock!

That includes around town driving in Chesterfield, Edale and Bakewell as well as a short period of sitting idling on the M1 for an accident clearance southbound.

Strokers FTW!

Thats really good (considering the higher gearing of the VXR8 against the Monaro to aid comparison)

I doubt I`ll get that many

Do any of these cars have DOD yet ?

On a run mine would be able to average around 22mpg. Tall 6th gear obviously helps that. Get stuck in traffic or at slower speeds and it drops pretty fast though.

General fannying about would see closer to 18-19mpg.

I think it drops a bit more when I put the foot down lol
