id expect him to be gettin closer to 600 to a tank, 400 to 80l is 20l/100k... thats heaps....


and yes, if you lead is broken then ur plug aint sparkin so the fuel goin in that cylender aint being burnt so its just running stright out the exhast and the rest of the cylinders are workin overtime to put down as much power as ur used to....






i think...
