This topic hasn't been raised in a while and with everyone modifying and working on there cars lately, i think it is a good time to bring this subject up.
I am especially interested in the economy of the EL ghia I6 Car; Engine; Fuel type; mods; kms; highway range; city range; (includes driving hard and then soft) Please state fuel tank capacity If possible L: 100kms Cheers

I could live with 13L per 100km. Im guessing that a "Standard" EL Ghia would have slightlyy better economy?

its only an average really though - if i give it a good thrashing for a day or so, then although the l/100km might not change *too* much, i may have gone through a s**t of fuel!
but yeah - my cam is the biggest hinderance to fuel efficiency - it really needs a chip (on its way  ) to try lean it out a bit - i'll be using a ticky ECU as well, which should *hopefully* improve the efficiency (well at least driveability) a little more
