respect to your mum shes hot, um not to sure yet i may come back to the darkside...............
my deto only returns 350ish from a full tank, and that is open road drivign and not thrashing it, hard to believe i know, but i drove very normally for this tank full, just to see what the economy was like, and i had the fuel pressure dailed back to factory as well...., so for that economy i may as well have kept my bloody legacy, i got the same kays outa that for 4 bucks more gas................,but i thought i may go back to a starlet, that will also be a good base to start from as a racer, factory turbo cant go to wrong starting with that...........well see, has your lady sold her car yet??, she could buy my very econimcal deto..................not trashed(Pfor the last tank anyway hahahahahah)

yup she sold it an got an AE101 FXGT
now we have 3 FXGT's, a caldina and a corona + half a levin sitting on the driveway 8)

if you can find a good starlie go for it. keep the deto as a daily and dedicate the starlet as a racecar!

Dude, there's something amiss with your Detomaso! Maybe a stuffed oxy sensor or something. I'm a fuel economy geek, so I can tell you that the *worst* economy I ever got out of my Detomaso was 12km per liter, and when we rocked up to Taupo and back I got 14km/l on the way North, and 15km/l on the way South. That car was nearly as good on gas as my 4afe wagon.
