I have a 2008 VX V6 with 320,000k....and am very happy with it. Can run on either 91 or 95 as the computer will adjust accordingly.
I tow and go off road. (Have fitted snorkle, 2 inch lift and diff breathers...
The official fuel use is 14.2L/100k and I get 12 on the open road (not towing)...179KW so good overtaking power...
Hope this helps.
