When the car was running 100 ron with a 4 speed it was less fuel efficient than now even thoe it had 200rwkw less.The cost involved in running a car with this much power is irelevent just some info with specks and fuel consumption for other readers wanting the perfect car to go cruising with friends have the option to take the family and enjoy the car without stoping for fuel every hour that is why I could never run a 2 speed glide in a car like this because the for me the positives outway the negatives between the two trans for what I intend in doing with the car.

I thought it was over $2 a litre ?The guy told me its 10c cheaper than 95. Also is it true that united change it from summer to winter requiring you to run 2 different tunes?

Cheers.I'm right behind you on that one, I can't justify a two speed if u can have the best of both worlds, looks like Simon has done a real good job with your goals.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 9m 1d Gender: Male Posted 20/01/12 01:42 AM Share Posted 20/01/12 01:42 AM You have not mentioned what cars/engines these were. Most importantly was it a late model Ford 6cyl???As I said before The Valve stem seals were eaten away, Valve guides were worn... In Short terms, Our company vehicles were showing wear at 50000 klm, of what you should see at 250000 klm. Now as doing some research I do know certain engines are certified for this High Ethanol Percentile Fuel mix. And Some are still yet to make the required upgrades to there engines. Im pretty sure its nothing more than when we used to all run on Leaded fuel, Converting to an Unleaded fuel we all needed an additive of some sort.

dre Resident idiot. Donating Members 2,068 Member For: 14y 3m 11d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 20/01/12 06:24 PM Share Posted 20/01/12 06:24 PM Hallam united is selling e85 now, I was talking to a guy tonight who has a pretty much stock F6 (injectors and fuel pump) he's got 340 with e85.Now that it's getting easier to find I'm keen to try it. Even make a power tune for e85 and an everyday less power/strain tune. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
