Do you only drive down hills, not up them? |

Yeah you probably would be the most i have ever got was very close to the 600 margin maybe more maybe less, then again mine is a UZZ31, bigger block, more guts, more petrol |

| My tank has lasted at least 40,000km. For proper operation, the only maintenance required is to put petrol in it. |

| just the topic im looking for. Im currently weighing up whether itd be worth getting my "to be" soarer converted to duel fuel. I know the running costs will be cheaper, but then again so will the performance, and the initial outlay will take some time to pay itself off.. Just curious as to how much a V8GT would cost per week. Unfortunatelly im not sure of the milage, but I can say that I drive it 35 mins to and fro work 5 days a week (70min per day x 5 days = 350 mins = ~6 hours), and probably a hour on the weekend (7 hours per week total). a figure based on city driving (~50km/h) would be most helpful! Im thinking ~$70-$100 per week... |

| Hope you don't mind having no boot space if you're going duel fuel. |

| Where's Peter when you need him... Fuel Economy threads should be banned from soarercentral or at least transferred to the Suzuki Swift Performance forum... Otherwise I'm going to start up a thread about how many squirts I get out of my windscreen washer bottle... If people spent the same amount of time doing some productive paid work that they do wondering, considering and daydreaming about fuel economy then they might actually have enough dollars not to give a sh1t and enjoy these cars for what they really are!!!
