I now own 2 FG falcons, the wife has a XT and i have a G6 both petrol 4 ltrs. how anyone can not like and prefer the FG to any equivalent car in price and size is totally beyond me. The technology in the FG compared to its rivals in unquestionable.the car is quiet, powerful, handles well and looks awesome. Well done Ford for producing the best Aussie car ever.

TP,
so what would you predict the fuel consumption of a 4.0L rear wheel driven and heavier camry/ aurion would be like?

bloody terrible i would guess.
the falcon does quite well to have so many theoretical things against it and can still match the camry/aurion for fuel figures

TP…

What happened to the 150KG weight difference you kept sprouting about?
Another lie?
When you only drive one old camry, how can you judge i guess…

Ummm Andrew its a 4L engine… if the Aurion was 4L they would be able to get 228kw from that engine with similar fuel consumption. The issue Im most concerne with its fuel efficiency, its engine efficiency… getting max power for minimum fuel use. The Aurion is the clear winner. Adam again you cant hack your test isnt accurate, the diffference isnt huge yes but Aurion is faster while consuming alittle bit less fuel = winner.

TP,
every time you make these efficiency statements i keep throwing this question at you……..

how come the heavier, less efficient drive line driven (RWD) and apparently less technically advanced falcon can easily match the Aurion on fuel efficiency and 0-100 times?

you still have not been able to answer that for me.

im guessing yet again that you will simply move on and pretend you never saw the question posed like you always do
