how the feck did you get 290 miles out of the Evo, were you on a trailer

I get over 450kms which converted is about 280miles to a 45 litre tank very comfortably. If it was on solid highway driving, it would probably be near 470kms. Mine has been better last week as we dropped the Ralliart Map into it which richened a few areas up and lowered the idle to 750rpm. They are very economical.

We only have ford to blame for it as therye not making balls out motors anymore so people, including die hard ford fans who bleed blue blood, are looking elsewhere now

This is exactly right. The same has happened here with what was, skylinesaustralia.com for Skyline enthusiasts and the Victorian contingent has rebadged as SAU Vic which represents a multitude of cars with people coming together due to their interest in performance cars and enjoying them.

IMO a club is a lot better with different cars as the members learn more about other performance cars and appreciate them. We now have Evos, Silvias, WRX's, FPV's along with the skylines and none of the active members care. The only ones who occasionally stir the pot are just forum users.
