    What gear do you drive in? (economy issue...)

    i use 4th around town anything up to 80k's and only use sixth at 100 or above or it bogs down too much for my liking, still sit on around 13-14 L/100 with a little stick here and there.

    Using different grades of fuel

    i use caltex vortex (98) because i get a discount through work, seems fine to me..everything performs as expected and no throttle delay. personally never used bp, i just think they are high priced

    Woodys SSV

    i get it and enjoy it, for the simple fact of a laugh..nice car too by the way, when i was looking i couldnt come to grips with the loud interior which is one of the reasons i went for the ss over the ssv but that is just personal preferance and i like the orange of the ve's they suit a black...

    qld laws realy are a joke

    your right about QLD cops are lazy, when i had my accident a few years ago we rang the cops and they said exchange details and get the cars towed off the highway..in otherwords they couldnt give a ****. Only reason they rocked up is because we also rang an ambulance because my mate was in shock...
