Hi guys, I have just bought a VN V8 5 Speed Berlina Wagon, and have to take it on its first trip (to drive it home from Queensland to Victoria)
and was wondering if anyone can let me know what kind of mileage I should expect to get on the highway (on the speed limits!!) so I can plan for the trip.
it is standard car with no known mods and std wheels etc
