I think I was 15.6 on Saturday on 98 as a comparison (Tumut to Jindabyne)Barely noticed you refuelling so wasn't too bad doing the trip on E85. You should do the drive a couple of weeks before with a trailer and hide some caches if E85 Jerry cans at all the stop points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was right under me, so was suspicious of the control blade bushes.Just crawled under it - me thinks they are well and truly dead... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civillian Donating Members 78 Member For: 20y 1m 23d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 25/11/19 09:33 AM Share Posted 25/11/19 09:33 AM I had these left over from my recent works done, apparently mine were done ages ago but I didn't know this when I ordered so they're just sitting on my bench, only 1 month old. Bag is unopened, let me know if you want them, mates rates of course. I've got some genuine grease in addition to whats in the bag. @EvilDaifu I just want to thank Gaz for organising this cruise. Lots of time, effort and money goes into organising these so thanks Gaz for making it an awesome trip and it was nice to meet everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree - top work as always Gaz.By my calculations, given their respective populations, ACT having four people on the cruise is the equivalent of NSW and Vic providing a total of 70 people. Maybe next year... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total distance travelled 1666km (includes rolling stops into Omeo with 46km range left and Bright with 35km range left - mental note - if it's going to be hot bring 10 litre and 5 litre jerry cans of 98RON ) Average fuel economy for me at the end of the cruise (after zero'ing leaving home) 12.1 l/100km Arriving into Tumut though on Friday afternoon my average was only 8.7 l/100km which I thought pretty good (not good enough according to YLD who was running of the smell of 7.something l/100 km ) Time in the saddle 20 hrs Fuel used 203 litre So most of us arrived into Tumut on Friday cept Pookey who rocked up at about 10:30pm cos had exam and Sydney Friday arvo traffic and here are some pics from Friday. Was sooooo hot the road was melting outside our hotel ... Found this nice spot by the Tumut River courtesy of a Holden GTS guy at the Tumut car wash (well I figured being a local he'd know where to take pics of his car ...) And civillian was showing us his neat wielding skills for all his jerry cans of E85 he meticuluously calculated he'd need for this cruise Then it was off to the Tumut Brewery for their famous Ginger Ninja beer and other boutiques plus their farrrkn fantastic MOFO Cheese Burgers 😋 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
