On the other side of the coin, my workmate has a Merc 450SLC (1978) and a new Pajero 3.5 petrol. It costs him NZ$250 a week in petrol. :wink:

From fumes to full I'm paying around $29 for premium (when you run out as you go down the hill to the garage and roll the rest of the way you know it's on empty :roll: ).

I heard that at Bathurst the V8's were slipping it into neutral on the top of the mountain to conserve fuel. One commentator even went as far as saying they were turning the car OFF as well! Now there is a tip for us all :mrgreen:

An empty tank in my 1275 LS is over $30 now. That's with the bigger tank, though. Unfortunatly, I don't get near 300km off that! :cry:

However... filled the van up yesterday, 100miles, 14 litres. I think I might drive that around more often, hehehe!
