Wanna know something about petrol going off?
It goes “off” as in out of spec. Not unusable. Not even *bad*.
The trout is on the same tank I last filled it with in June 2025. It runs fine.
I had another Falcon that sat from 2001 to 2009. Ran fine.
Maybe less power, or lower mpg. Couldn’t tell.
A really finely tuned engine control computer might complain, might throw codes. It might be really noticeable on a high compression or high performance engine.
But the mad max wasteland will be fine.
@decryption gods no. Got the FG then and probably driven the trout a dozen times - and two of those were to make sure the battery kept charging!
Want it?

There's a lovely story about an award-winning 1979 Gemini here:

And a recent Garbage Time video about a 1979 Holden Gemini RTS panel wagon, owned by a drummer friend of Wade.

That's the same guy who replaced his coolant with Pepsi, and his engine oil with chocolate.
