Oh shizer LMW, what have I done!?!?

By this time tomorrow I'll be able to tell you how much fuel I used from a full tank getting from Port Macquarie to Bris-vegas when I pick my new baby up. You'll need to do your computations allowing for the fact that I go like the ruddy clappers though. Anymore than that, I don't wanna know, it's far too scarey!

you do have a point.

maybe thats all it is, bigger rubber - using higher revs maybe to keep them turning, so in return using more fuel?


i also find it hard to believe that a CRV uses that much fuel ay

it doesnt take einstein to work out that a new 2.4 litre engine uses way less than an old 4.0 litre engine... youd have to be mad to think otherwise...

Not to scare you any more however I'd suggest you will use more than one tank, one and a half or more if you have a heavy right foot...

Port Mac to Brisvegas is around 550km's. My fuel light comes on at around 320k's on the trip meter (about 280 around town) and I drive like an old man...
