High petrol prices...







Could be due for servicing or tune up

1/4 of a tank on the guage or actually a 1/4 of a tank? I usually get about 100km off the guage, but this isn't 1/4 of a tank, more like 1.5/8.

Yeah my gauge is funny too, from full to 3/4 i get about 150, then 3/4 to 1/2 i get about 60 1/2 to 1/4 i get about 110 then 1/4 to empty i get about 160/170.. although im just remembering i get from 450 to 500+ per tank.. I personally think this is drinking the juice but my mechanic rekons its ave for a 6.. my old TP 2.6 used to get me 550+ on prem and given the boot every now and more often..

I couldn't justify the power increase for that!
Surely it's a tune issue? like it will be better wont it?

Thought that might be the case dude. I'd want it to be a little btr, even with the turbo on.
