I didnt notice you had a ute- they for some strange unknown reason dont seem to suffer from fuel starve like the sedans- any ute owners confirm this?however it is insurance- I just got around to having a pw installed- now I gun it on empty just cause I can- plus wouldnt you know it, I only ever lined up against an hsv when I was almost empty, so I looked like a wuss when I wouldnt run him....
