A man after my own heart......a puritan.......welcome to the fold my son

When the Mitzy EVO 3 came out, they released a small brochure for the dealers etc etc........ on the botton spec under "fuel ecconomy" it said

Who Cares!

And when I drove my Z for the first time, I thought the same thing.

Heard from a reliable source that a 4 seater twin turbo in good condition went for less than NZ$6000 privately a month ago.
Best bet is to shop around, and for gods sake, get it WELL checked out.

Possably a blockage in the line before or after, bits in the tank blocking intake? Maybe a dent in the fuel line under the car?
