Thats good to hear, I have had one sitting on my shelf for almost a year now, time I hooked that baby up. Guess I will have to get my LPG retuned though.

Having the same problem with my snorkel. Ever since I put it on the consumption has gone into the 15's. I'm thinking the colder air is creating a denser mixture and most of my driving atm is round the burbs.

any time you change air intake your fuel will suffer cold air intake ie snokel colder air =more power but more fuel a snokel is no fuel saver it so you can play in the puddles and thats all it good for

Don't get me wrong, i am not claiming at this stage that it uses more petrol. I am claiming thati like the increase in pickup and power, so I am likely to use more petrol playing with the extra pickup.

It will remain to be seen how it effects economy.

Ordered rotors, pads and shoes from Mopar spares. I was going to go with Rockauto until I saw an interesting interview with Dick Smith. He makes a lot of sense about Oz going down the tube unless we support local business.
