There used to be one of those near me, we would all scrounge around for 2 bob (20 cents) pieces. My mate had an old EH Holden, he used to put 25c worth of petrol and save 25c for his lunch at work! Remember the days when a guy came out, put the petrol in your car, checked your oil and water for you?
how many kms to that 40l. Without that info it’s a pointless statementOriginally Posted by gazza2006au;[URL="tel:1692048"
could be horrific fuel economy or it could be good
I get around 125kms to a tank towing the boat i dont get much more without a load only 140kms that is stop start traffic a little bit of 80km zones
I just filled up cost $37 at 103.9/L and a guy said nice car and asked if i wanted to sell it
So 28l per 100
lpg is 20 percent worse fuel economy so that’s about 23l per 100 for petrol use
not horrific considering the weight and age of the tow vehicle
you will prob add 200kg more when finished plus another 100kg when you fit a decent sized fuel tank
She only gets 250kms to 57L of unleaded full tank
If the government tried a ban on bacon I'd be the first to squeal like a pig and mount a protest ....
As far as gazza's figures go, well, one day Gazza reckoned he got 30 km's with 30 litres of fuel on the new boat..a couple of days later he reckoned he got over 2km/l ...
He seems to just make it up as he goes along with whatever pops into his head at the time.....probably best to stick to within swimming distance of the coast I reckon...
Because I was good with number guesses ?Originally Posted by shortthenlong;[URL="tel:1692061"
My first exposure to big boat tank capacity. Had a mate ferrying a Bertram from Port Stephens to Botany Bay after a tournament. Told us he would refuel in the Hawkesbury if we wanted to contribute to fuel and marlin fish the rest of the way. Jumped aboard at Brooklyn. Went to the bowser. At the 350 litre mark I went a bit weak at the knees. Fortunately we only paid a portion lol.
I work hard and don't think twice about the cost.
That said, I'm not filling my mate's 45' cruiser that slurps 120L of diesel per hour at a 20 knot cruise. That'd make me wince.
