Hang on. Only 0.6L (AS2877 ave) better per hundred k than a much torquier, quicker ford?

Even at a high 1.50 a litre, that is only 90cents more per hundred k.

At 20,000km per year that is only $180 more per year (or $3.60 per week).

Add Me (102kg) , the wife (51kg) , two kids (30kg combined) a double stroller (about a million kilos)and endless supplies of kids stuff and I reckon the 3.0 would have to work that much harder to keep up that the six speed falc would be more economical.

My old 351 xy (stocko 2v) ute used to tow our old bonwood caravan more economically than the wife's 250 2v xy fairmont. The smaller six had to be worked so much harder.

Maybe this isn't relevant but, i thought it might be of interest
