Just back from the Taupo A1GP road-trip and have a little quiz for you all to try and answer:
How much fuel do you think I used (in my 280bhp twin-turbo 4wd Subaru wagon) for the entire trip?

Oh and if someone who is a mod could delete the other thread I accidentaly started as a wiki that would be handy...

Ok my maths is really avg compared to you engineer nerds, but here goes!
I am assuming you kept the car pretty tame for most of the journey getting best fuel economy right?
The variables could be: I am banking on you did around 2500kms all up. Your car has a 65-70L tank? Id say your getting 400kms per tank spirited driving and 450-500kms pussy footing 
So around 355L of fuel or around 5 fill ups?
If I win can you send me up a Mays Pie??

My licence wouldn't last long if I was driving with a 250Km/tank level of enthusiasm!Mostly I was driving in such a way as to achieve reasonable distance/fuel/time efficiency (anyone want to come up with an equation for that?)
- cruising at semi-legal speeds but carrying plenty through the corners and not hanging about when overtaking. Of course I couldn't stop myself playing on the fun bits though, and there are quite a lot of those en route...I'll wait for a few more guesses before giving too much away though...

I'd say you used more than you hoped but less than you expected

Very good and quite accurate really. Photos are waiting for me to start processing when I get home from work, snapped about 1700 so I'll be a busy boy the next few nights. Sorry I didn't catch up with you on Sunday, things got a tad hectic for a while there.
