Cheaper to run, i doubt that, listening to my mates complain about the fuel consumption of their cars. The XR6T uses more than the SS does, its quicker, but it uses more petty, funny as to listen to em argue

Actually if you keep the XR off boost you can get very good fuel economy. The tubor starts to boost at 2000rpm and you can gear change these cars at 1500/1800rpm with no problem.

This is very true, very very true, but cruising, without burrying the right foot into the firewall all the time, the SS seems better, it is manual though, but its still funny to see the guy with the XR fill up twice when the SS fills up once, but i do agree, the XR should be more fuel economic

I guess when you dont get the sound of an V8 you like to drive it hard!! lol

The fuel tank on the Falcons is smaller than the Commo's.
