I cant remember the last time (well I can, it was when the old man followed me down to the drags)that I cared or noticed my fuel economy. Our cars are made, especially when modded to go and drive fast. To drive fast, it takes fuel and lots of it. I enjoy watching my instant fuel reading going to 99.9 when I'm smashing it and I tell my friends to watch the display when doing so.I say, fuel economy is for tree huggers.I hear ya, but there are times when bogans need good economy! Bathurst for example lol. But seriously when I drive up north (towing esp) and need the economy to get between fuel stations (not all have 98ron)...it's helps to know what the limits are and that was my primary reason for testing and trying to get good economy. I learnt a lot from it too. But yeah normally I run ethanol blends so my fuel economy is nothing short of $hithouse and even though I'm an enviro by trade I don't care for economy on a day-to-day basis....I ride my pushy instead (economy is ~1 cheeseburger per 20km's lol) and flog the car on weekends :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'sSteve, I had to be actually in Mandurah before the first train was due to run (shutdown) so it was COLD. Was before the new part of the freeway was open too, so it wasn't exactly smooth sailing the whole way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive negative patch surrounding it at the moment. Was considering selling it but decided to hang in With any luck the new rebuilt trans with the stronger input shaft will hold it together! Big thanks to Simon at XFT for sorting it out for me even though he was extremely busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run alot less power than most of you guys so imagine you have your takeoffs sorted. I try and get it off the mark kinda easy then get into it which is when tyres start to fry! Or is it better stalling and keeping a more consistent throttle position through first then get more into it once in second? But then alot of you run the 6 spds rather than the BTR so maybe its different. Also I find the changes alot firmer in manual sports mode so that's how I plan to run it.Also will I find the strip has alot better grip than the road?Sorry for the stupid questions but first timer so any tips / pointers would be great.Please Note: All above mentioned driving practices are done on private roads Cheers Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
