Does this look right?

US$3.50/ Gallon * 0.264 Gallon/ Litre * £0.509/ US$

£0.47/ Litre

if it is... your paying 1/3rd the price of the UK... and in which case I am gonna hire a boat... come over to Auz... buy some fuel... sail back and sell it at a massive profit :)

i'll invest in this venture... hmmm can we have models on the boat?:D

wouldn't have it any other way...


good luck with the exam1

Use a sailboat and double your money! ;)

I could make Kel paddle :D

Visions of a disaster dubbed the Exxon-Keldez. :P

You might want to sail to the US. We're paying about 80p as per your original calculations. But it's 47p in the US. Not sure if that's diesel (Zalister?).

The HMS PhoKel

I got the car tuned on a dyno last night. At 18psi it made 362 all wheel hp and 359 torque.

A dyno chart can be seen here. The drive home was fun. :)

mate.... I am laughing so much I am actually crying...!

you have missed your calling as a Photoshop power user :)

Couldn't resist the urge :rolleyes:

HAHAHAHA...thats a legendary photo...... you missed the hot (preferably naked girls :))

My apologies.

perfect :)

I got the car dyno tuned for 91 octane and e85.

On 91 octane it made 316 awhp and 317 foot/lbs of torque at 10 psi. Turning the boost up to 18psi made 362 awhp and 359 foot/lbs.

With e85 at 16 psi 394 awhp and 395 foot/lbs, but we were out of the comfort zone with regards to injector duty cycle. Backed off to 10 psi and made 347 awhp and 357 foot/lbs. That's where it sits today.

Dyno charts: 91 octane and e85.

It really gets up and scoots. :)

You did all of that to a Subaru Legacy? Well, there you have it. I'd say that it's a bit odd, but you know, my dream car is a Reliant Robin with about 400hp. Or maybe I'll just attach a giant rocket to it. Though it looks a might bit dangerous.

In all honestly, I'm looking into adding a little omph to my Toyota Matrix. So far I've looked into some cool air induction and perhaps a new header/exhaust combo. I'm not sure about a turbo yet because the gearbox is a bit sketchy and besides that, I don't want to ruin my cars reliability. So, maybe I'll invest in some reinforced pistons before I do anything too stupid... Yeah, it really is fun to take an unassuming car and make it faster than anyone might expect.
