This sort of increase is certainly noticable on the road and the low down torque (idle-1700rpm) is greatly increased.

    YES. St. Peters is in Sydney near Newtown. I have clocked up 200k's of surburban driving over the weekend and have used approx. 1/3rd of a tank, so it appears that the fuel consumption has also improved, but I will have more accurate figures over the coming weeks. I am a bit anal retentive at the moment with my new toy and am keeping a complete log of fuel types used and $ spent trying to improve on the current power/consumption figures.
    Lete me know if you have any more questions and I am more than happy to help where I can.
    Cheers
    Glenn

    Well, it's been a few weeks testing (only in the city sadly) the new Haltech's fuel consumption and I'm happy to say that it has dropped from 22-25lt/100 to between 18-20lt/100..... I'm not blown away with the fuel results but do feel that considering the substantial power increase it was well worth the investment. I'm doing a run from Syd-Jindabyne-Syd in a couple of weeks with 5x people + ski gear so I am interested in what the consumption will be like.
