    1. You're only 15.
    2. Driving as unlicensed will cop your parents a $450 fine.
    3. Driving an unregistered vehicle will give you a $400 fine.
    3. Hit and kill someone while doing this will make yourself and your parents live in shame for the rest of your/their lifes.

    4. Act your age. Stop acting like a twirp.

    In that case you'll get about up to ~400 K's a tank.

    On the highway. EFI or carby? I assume carb as the barges didn't come out as EFI until later.

    You have EFI so it isn't anything with your car.

    some prick dropped a 2.85 blue in my VH SL/E

    fuel economy was around 16L/100km by my estimate. at 100km/h you were doing 3000rpm, so highway economy was crap as well.

    for about the last 9 months - year of it's life it was running on 5 cylinders, which probably made economy even worse.
