well how did they come to the conclusion that they can get 900k from a tank?
if i sat around 80 to 90 with the 6 speed auto, it would sit around 1400 rpm or threabouts i guess i would get pretty close. |

I know the above figures ad up.....,but hell that just seems to far on too little fuel. I can leave home (Coonabarabran) go to Leicheit Sydney turn around come back and be on the fuel light at around 650kms per tank, i must fill up at some point to finish the trip home. BUT i have a family of 4 (190kgs), esky,and a boot filled up with luggage. I did not think that was too bad.

Whats with Holden, in there ad they make out they invented direct injection, it came out years ago who cares, the 3.6 still has no torque could only imagine how bad the 3.0 will be to drive, will be good to see how fg XR6 goes against new DI SV6. Can only hope ford keep I6 and go DI
