Rsjvr6 1 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 After 2 months of sitting out in the sidelines watching other people drive their cars, I finally got my VR back on the road today. So my first job was to go to the local petrol station and fill up - £124.9 which equated to £60.51 for 51 litres.....So im thinking can the VR6OC do some sort of deal with shell - im not being greedy but I think 20 % off the retail price of fuel is reasonable... lolCan someone hook it up.....

spadam 7 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 goverment need to sort it out. If it keeps going this way no 1 will be able to afford to drive. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 When it broke through the £1.00 a litre barrier everyone said it would rocket up through. £2.00 litre is a strong possibility. As you all know most of it is revenue to help pay for the low lifes in this country. Link to post Share on other sites

Smurf 0 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hi Looking at this fuel business, what's the most mpg you can get froma VR6 I've had about 30 ish. So in theory the only way to get better MPG is to make the car as light as humanly possble ie strip the inside out, then replace the glass with perspex, fit skinny wheels and tyres, fibre glass panels , fit tiny battery, then remap the ecu to maximum mpg etc I wonder if you could get at least 35+ !! Now all we need is someone to try it would make a good article! Oh yes and put helium in your tyres too. It going to cheaper running your car on white spirit soon!! I'm off to B&Q Link to post Share on other sites
