    I got 13.5 kms / ltr on the way up, thats 7.4 ltr / 100km

    thats with the trailer, mind you it was in the disturbed air at the back and only a few bits on there.

    and before anyone adds it "I know the air is disturbed @ the back of an MR2" cus an ex pom is driving :twisted:

    Seems like you've been ripped off, I've heard of petrol pumps over/under-pumping fuel. I couldn't logically imagine the tank being of a different size. Of course I could be wrong most likely it looks like you've been ripped off. :?
