i can get 18mpg if i balloon-foot around in the Tremmec's 5th gear (3550HD). Not all shabby, say wot?
Are you serious? Does it really cost that much for 4 star in Jolly Olde? What's the liter price? I haven't been there for a few years, but that is awful. That means the drive to Monaco return would be nearly $1000+??? GAAAAGGGG!
Must be more confiscatory taxes, because it is certainly not the price of oil.

Hi What`sa.... `nother Brit jumping into the thread!
4 star (or LRP as they call it now it has no lead in...hence Lead Replacement Petrol ) costs 89p per litre at my nearest fuel station, ($1.60) and regular unleaded is 81p($1.45)
I believe around 83% of the cost IS TAX!!!!!
I can never remember, is a US gallon smaller than imperial(8 pints/4.54litre)?
My dad used to get 8 mpg when racing from his 289 with the 4 twin Webers, back around `68-`69. 1 race would cost me over a week`s wages now!
