Richard, I think that is your problem is your getting soft driving these 
late model plastic cars....lol

My LS1 powered VX Commodore with a cam and exhaust will do 10 litres per 
hundred real easy on a trip from Melbourne to Adelaide.

Not sure if you remember, but April last year i went to the barossa Valley 
(Turunda) with the Cadillac Car Club, and my 472 ci Cadillac went through 
quite a bit of petrol, but i dont want to know how much....lol
I had to fill 3 times each way i think, but each stop was about 45 to 50 
litres as i did not want to take any chances with the fuel guage, even 
though the fuel tank is meant to hold 110 litres.

Just enjoy these old cars while we can, and the car clubs im in are great 
fun with lots of good people.

Jim
