Generally about $90, with BP Unleaded 95.

I did have one tank where I squeezed 70 Litres in, and that was my first (and only) $100+ tank in the Falcon.

I put 68litres in when i still had 1/4 of tank left, and i know at 1/4 of tank its at least 20litre's till empty, lets just say i wasn't very nice to the servo manager when i paid.

Generally though i fit about 73litres in my AU, but i do fit every drip in.

How? Capacity is 72, maybe 75 litres. There's no way fuel lines account for another 11 or so litres.

I would say its possible, havent you seen A Current Affair where some Fuel Pumps are not calibrated properly

On that note I thought my tank in my EF Fairmont is 68 litres

It is Rosco.

Wagons have the Ute tank (I think), which is bigger than the Sedan's tank. Be that as it may, in my many years of Falcon ownership, I've never seen more than 68 Litres go in a Sedan. I've found that when the Fuel Light comes on in my EF, there is ~10 litres in the tank. It still makes me sweat on the Freeway when the light comes on, however.

see thats where you people go wrong. if i was to fill my tank (maybe $110) i would wanna putt around everywhere cos i knew how much i spent. wat i ingeniously do is only ever put 10 bucks in at a time (unless im going to cairns or something) (another thing is im in a ratehr small town so...yea) that way im only like myea 10 bucks thats nothing and i feel free to cane the falcon everywhere.
