TIME to LEAVE the CAR at HOME?

http://www.aussieseek.com Pete Said Any Views? -------------------------- Reality check for gas guzzlers « Reply #1 on Today at 12:28am » ---------------------------------------------------------------------------*----- My V8 - an LS1 5.7 litre 6 speed manual is used almost exclusively for regular interstate trips with four on-boad and a trunk-load of heavy gear. Without trying, according to the trip computer it regularly returns 8.9 litres per 100 Kms on ULP on these trips, a figure many 4 cylinder cars with 2-up can't match. The best I have seen is 8.1litres/100 kms but that was all downhill. I would probably get even better figues if I didn't have to come off cruise control and then reset because some dawdling dimwit in a rice-burner is hogging the right (passing) - lane and won't move over until he sees the whites of your eyes. Makin, if LPG ever becomes an acceptable alternative in huge numbers, it too will become expensive. Or Ethanol? Look at BRAZIL. Cars are running there on Ethanol only. VW has a model out The Government in not about to see it's share of petrol products revenue diminish, so whatever is used in viable numbers as an alternative to petroleum will suffer the same profiteering fat |
