Yes us ute drivers feel the pain even more....it cost me last weekend $102 to fill up and just after I did the whole today tonight did their campaign at Birkshire Park United which pushed the Shell (next door) to drop its price by 10cents a litre JUST AFTER I LEFT... :laughing: oh well I didnt buy the T for fuel economy anyways...

Bust your arse, work hard when others dont give a fuch = fuel card and pay rise.

Havent got through my first tank yet. Having fun running in, which I thinks is a wives tale due to Ford dynoing all motors in QA checks before being fitted. Its right to go now baby...

Lpg can be made to perform..(it actually has a higher calorific value than petrol..ie it contains more power..) but you need lots of it and a specialised set up that isnt around for these cars yet...im sure if some body came up with a economically viable system that would still allow these cars to make big HP it would sell....you gotta wonder if paying 1/3 third the price of petrol for LPG and then uses 4 times as much to make the same power would make it worth it though.... :kissmy:

Buy a proper taxi then :laughing:

You get 350 to a tank? How many mods you running? Also pardon the ignorance but how big is the tank?

I get around 400 Kms out of the 65 litre tank... if I baby it then around 450 easy.

would an exhaust and a ford flash better economy??

on my old vcar, the ef, an exhaust, extractors made it more economical

I remember someone said not to flash it, but that was for cars that were being run in if I remember correctly. BTW I have crap memory

;)
