Maybe it's the larger tyres. Last time the 543cc engine was in, she was averaging 6/100 with the stocko 145/70 12's, i've now got 165/65 13's on the 'boy. Handles heaps better! Still, on petrol it's more expensive than my EB on LPG to run!

My old EF did a best of 580km on a highway run before the light cam on. That was auto, 140xxxkm cam, exhaust and intake driving nice. My LS1 managed 720km before the reserve alarm sounded (at the 60l mark) on a country trip to Bunbury and back then some town driving for 2 or 3 days. 6 speeds definately a lot.

F**k things... the ef gets good mileage all the time however.

The fuel is the best. In the Manual eb2 wagon I can return 13.3 litres of LPG PER 100 on freeway, that cost me around $8- per 100'ks... even at best a falc returning 9.0 l's per 100 is around $13 per 100....Save around $5- per 100 k's. Gas it better and if its setup properly, u dont even notice the power loss AT ALL. I can return 16L's per 100 outta the Windsor too(LPG)....but thats another story...
