This one's been done to death on the old forums, but I thought I'd do it again because I'm pretty damn proud of myself at the moment :

Went for a long **** drive in the old lady's EL Ghia, down to Geelong and through GOR up to Port Campbell then back to Melb through Colac. Got about 610 to the tank, which is still going lol. That's regular unleaded from a Liberty servo, with about 4 people in the car most of the time. It's got a Tickford 4.0L and 3.45:1 LSD which makes the tacho needle sit just shy of 2000RPM at 100km/h.

After having nothing but bad experiences with Falcon's on petrol I reckon that's pretty decent ;)

My EA on gas does 290 to the tank, which is pretty shitty. My old EA did more like 350 on the same amount of gas, only difference in the two being the gearbox.

What do you all get??
