imagine an engine with nothing but hiclones as its intake.
perhaps you could have about 20 or 30 hiclones inline and your car would run on no fuel?

Yeah! Reading some of those HICLONE testimonials I wouldn't be surprised! Look at all those satisfied customers ...

Hmm, I should really get this looked at ...


5.49 km/L
15.54 mpg
18.18 L/100km


202ci ... with the most poorly set up and tuned WW Stromberg you could possibly find ... love that black smoke.

i think the letter written in about the VT commodore is CRAP! 6.7l/100km in a VT?? I think not...

Anyway, my figures are

11.463km/litre
32.39mpg
8.723l/100km

well i've been keeping these figures for a while for the torana, so i tallied them all up and did an average and used that as my km's and litres numbers .... here my results:

kms/L - 8.08
miles/gallon - 22.83
L/100kms - 12.38

this is with worked 202, VK EFI, 5 speed, 3.08:1 diff and 225/60/13 tyres.

How the F*k are you 202 boys getting that much out of a tank?
My old 202 used to do almost identical to my 308 and the 202 was dead stock :|
In fact, I think I can squeeze a bit more out of the 308 if I drove it more sedately.

Keithy's UC has better MPG than a grandpa driven Commodore.
Unless that's Freeway driving???!

Try putting a condensor on the end of the exhaust pipe and collect some of your unburnt fuel back!

My SS hatch gets very good economy as far as I can tell.

6.8 km/ litre
19 mile/gallon
15 litres/100km

running a reasonably stock 308, balanced & blueprinted, trimatic, standard carby, 2.78 lsd banjo diff and 205/60 13 tyres, premium unleaded fuel

That is just an average use of petrol, fuel consumption goes up greatly if I have a heavy foot. however if using on the hyway I probably could get better economy on the hyway if I really tried but fuel economy isnt a huge issue, if it was, i wouldnt own a V8.

I've got a feeling he's joking and that "freeway" is the drag strip --> does state aviation fuel :)
