I have a AUII XR8 with 220 motor and auto with exhaust and k&n filter.
Get anywhere from 400 to 450 city driving and 600 to 700 on highway. Hoich

68L Tank. You will find a Manual XR8 quite good on fuel if you treat it well , however once you hear the windsor at full throttle once , you will want to hear it again and again and again and again you get the drift......

why he changed the injectors is beyond me..
a good exhaust, intake and tune, driven properly will get down to 9L per 100k on the highway.. |

AU2 XR8 200kw auto, exhaust, k&n filter, 68lt tank, 98octane. 430km town and 680km road. This is a light foot approach, boot it and it will drink heaps.

If you are in NSW ... it's illegal to drive this sort of vehicle when on P's.
Just a heads-up ... seeing as no locations are mentioned ... I am just letting you know nicely. I really want a BA XLS ute with the 3V 220kw V8 ... and gets some stuff done from ACE ... then fit injected LPG ... but that's just a pipedream of mine ... LOL Also a low-boost S/C kit on the AU EGAS might be more of a reality ... LOL
