XR6PSI Member 80 Member For: 21y 10m 24d Posted 19/06/03 11:01 AM Share Posted 19/06/03 11:01 AM having had the T for just over a month now done 2500ks finally had a go and giving it a good run on the weekend when I went on the XR clubs Rally. Took in from city out Mt Glorious to Wyvienhoe and ESK accros to Ravensborne and Toowoomba and down to gatton. About 350Ks of mountains etc and occasional boots to its limit spd limit that is .......(I mean no no there wasn't) the Average was 18L/100 not bad considering the driving style. On the way back just cruising home 100 - 110 or so I got 10.5L/100 and overall average is about 13L/100.Overall couldn't be happier with the beast (we ended up winning the rally even against BBF's Own XR8) loving every minute the looks the sound the power just everything rules and the last run really proved it.
