hi guys, ive just filled up my 2nd tank of gas with vortex premium. deciding to save money on fuel ive been driving my auto ba very carefully, keeping it shifting below 2k rpms so turbo doesnt kick in. I then remembered reading in the manual that it said the most fuel efficient speeds are between 60-100km/hr. just wanted to know how you guys have been driving, and whether the manuals right or wrong.

Ask yourself why you wanted to buy a T. If the answer is because of the performance, you need to accept the fact that it will chew the juice. Don't be a nanna, give it heaps...

To save fuel, I go everywhere flat out, so I get there quicker, so I can turn the car off earlier, which saves me fuel

Actually I have found that babying it I use more fuel than moving swiftly from standstill. Don't forget the weight of the car is an important factor.

I found a few ways to get good economy.

1. Park it in the garage and drive the wifes car... but that's too boring

2. Don't drive it hard ... but why did I buy it .... that doesn't work

3. Only drive on freeways with the cruise control on, aware that camera are watching.

and this last one is the only one that will ever work. Ask your employer for a fuel card as part of your salary ... I did & got one and fuel is excellent now....

They had to get caltex to change the ruling on my card so I could get vortex 98, everyone elso only gets standard fuel..... suckers.. in boring company cars.

Point of this is drive it to enjoy it... I do!!!

Great car, great colour, now all you have to do is get rid of that crappy 'Action Suzuki Autos' . It needs to be removed to give the car some justice.

Oh yeah, go the stealth look and de-badge, it may help you while on your P's

Unscrew your number plate and it will come off. If you want to keep it, get some plastic primer and a gloss black paint and spray it. Did the same to mine and it cam up a treat.
