Had a minor issue where I couldn't put any gas in it but all fixed under warranty with no issue...

The price going up does suck but its still 50+cents a litre cheaper!

Looking forward to doing a trip to Adelaide and then onto Yorktown in march and seeing what it returns on the open road!

What sort of km's are you getting per fill. Also how big is the gas tank.

Gas tank is 80 litres - 65 usable.
First tank of gas I got 23L /100... With a very heavy right foot! As a comparison, My first tank of petrol I got 21l/100...

Only on my 2nd tank of gas now and again have been giving it a hiding... Next fill I'll drive a bit more sensibly and see what it returns.

I seriously think I need to at least put a cat back on which should make a big difference to my economy - at the moment I'm flooring it at every opportunity as its the only way o hear any sort of rumble!!!

As much as I hate to say it mate I'm hoping that will be the case....

Thankfully I insured it for what it's worth not what I paid and then up'd it again when I did the conversion.... I know I won't be able to find another privately owned spotless one with less than 10k on the clock at the price I paid but there seems to be a few ex Holden execs with sub 15k....

It goes in on Monday to shop that I've worked with in the past so well see what they say when they get a good look at it...
