always makes me laugh when i read people in the canada/the states run pajeros!
you got the cheapest fuel ! go buy a huge petrol v8 and have some fun while you still can!
I just cant afford to run the likes of my old dodge 7.0 big block pick up truck these days..£5 per gallon for petrol?
when gasoline hits $10 per gallon you might consider a more mpg friendly mode of transport..till then enjoy it! |
he aint wrong you know  |

Heh I do have a V8  it even takes 91 Octane
91 is at $1.30/L which is $5.90/Gal or $4.92/US Gal
Diesel is $0.90 which is $4.09/gal or $3.41/US Gal
I ran some numbers...
For my car to make a run to the city and back - $76.21 with the Paj numbers posted about it would be $43.79....
Also I don't make that much money... well comparitively... Gas jockeys make as much as I do... but once the boom ends... then I'll be good again...
The Paj would be just a hair more costly on fuel than my wife's car - Dodge Neon - High output 2.0L Gasser with a OD of .84 and diff of 3.94 - same trip above in my wife's car(which also uses 91 octane) - $42.77
I also haul stuff, but not enough to justify the cost of a full size truck with a diesel and a gasser.. yeah, umm no. |

Well we don't call it Veg oil over here... some people run Bio Diesel it's processed used veg/canola cooking oil from fast food joints.
I don't think it's commercially available, people make their own if they want it. |

| We don't have 98 Octane.. highest you can get here is 94(without going to avgas) and it's rare. That's not quite as bad as yours.. 94 is about $1.35/L |
