Curious that your ecconomy is worse on the hwy? My falcon xr6 gets about 14l per 100 around town driving normally. I dont know if you will get enough improvement to justify the swap over. although my hwy figures are around 12L per 100.

have you looked into insurance after the conversion? Ive often wondered how hard it would be to get.

not sure on the specifics of your conversion. but i have been told that the ecotech HATES gas...

So what's the fuel consumption and how does that compare to a well tuned 2F?
i have no idea of the fuel consumption, as i've only driven it to and from wheeling... on 36's...

Mine certainly did. I had origionally planed to go to the falcon dedicated gas version, but the power drop was to substancial somwhere around 186kw to 135kw.
