Pretty sure grant just drove it like he stole it. Never shift below 4500, cruise at 2500-3000.

When you've got that motor, do that. 

But no, really it was that bad lol 

[Kinkstaah]

I get under 200kms a tank on E85.

Yay me.

Lol f**k, and I thought filling up mine every 350km or so was a pain in the ass. that would mean you'd be looking for a servo after 150kms

I pretty much consider a full tank of gas for any kind of spirited drive - I.e going to Healseville, Mt Donna Buang, Buxton, etc are all $80 affairs for the round trip.

98 gets me maybe 20-30 more kms from the tank. It isn't so bad as my drive to work is 5km, if I had to commute an hour each way every day then oh boy. $

Why is your economy so f**king bad?

[Leroy Peterson]

Ride or die.

Because Greg? 

[Birds]

That part is a given, I guess I was looking for a rational reason

[Count Grantleyish]

Built auto is rational reason? 

[admS15]

Gregging it is even more of a rational reason..

[TiTAN]

Does he have a 3 speed box or something silly?

[Count Grantleyish]

It's Greg, it wouldn't surprise me if he have the 'glide in there. 

[Leroy Peterson]

Reminds me of a street machine mag I was reading during lunch the other week, old man with his yellow classic Monaro with 900hp that runs 9's saying he drives it every weekend and is a great cruiser.

Runs bicycle wheels are the front and a 2 speed powerglide. Have fun with that buddy. Would make Gregs fuel economy look like a VW golf diesel.

[TiTAN]

2 speed with a loose af converter wouldn't be too horrible to drive around with a big cube v8. The skinnys and likely mini spool or locked diff would make it a bit of a pig though.

[Leroy Peterson]

6500rpm stall converter.

(i forgot to add that bit in)

She is back and powered by e85.
Relied on the stock fuel pump wiring to keep up but couldn't hold fuel pressure. Dyno tune aborted but car is driveable for the 1000km run-in. Time to rack up the km's for the eflex tune.
