Technical Contributor: For members who share their technical expertise. - Issue reason: Trev has owned several boosted fords and has really contributed a lot of info on them. His posts in the bike section are also very helpful. I think he should be recognised as a technical contributor.

My six speed auto F6 generally averages just under 13 litres per 100km on the city cycle. The last normal non turbo Falcon I had as a hire car averaged just over 10 litres per 100km. On the highway cycle the F6 averages around 11 per 100km. Even towing a 1250kg caravan wind brick across Australia averaging speeds above what are allowed to be quoted here it returned 16 litres per 100km. And I believe the FG Turbos are supposedly better again. If you are using four speed auto figures from BA to go on you are miles behind the times.
