Cool Gas Consumption

Hi Guy's & Gal's
I have just had my baby's computer upgraded and had the new 3 inch system put on and i can assure you i am pumping, travelling along the highway from Brizzy to Sydney.However due to the fact i can't buy a owners manual to my 1988 convertable i wish to find out how many litres the tank would hold so i can calculate my cars drinking habit. (Only on long trips as who cares around town)

CHEERS.....THE TEESE

Teese1: If I am right, you guys got Turbo Convertables right? If that's right, from the shop manual, they estimate your tank to be about 63 litres.

I actually reccomend just counting the number of litres you pump into your tank, that way is more accurate, because you'll rarely drive till a totally empty tank and push your car into the station :p (Or at least I hope so!)

^^^^ yea just fill your tank up to the top.....go drive awhile....then refill and see how many litres goes in. Then it is simple calcualation to figure your consumption/Kilo
