How much fuel would a Holden Statesmen Use on highway? 5.0l v8?

Question

I am considering buying a Holden Statesman - 5.0L V8 for driving long distances... I work 1000km from home and it is an easy, boring, long drive.

I figure that on the highway it would actually be ok on fuel... and I don't plan to use it around town or anything - just on the highway.

Would I be correct thinking that it would cruise at 100 kph on about 1200 rpm? and that I would get about 12l / 100ks?

Would love to hear from anyone with a similiar car... I am also looking at a fairlane.

Answer 1

if it has a 65L tank, you can expect to see 4.5L/35k. that's being optimistic. I like the statesman, but i'm partial to the Fairlane(my wife owns a '61 Falcon).
