Hi Thumper.Better have some diesel in a jerry can just in case (reckon the warning light will still come on when she approaches empty...)I reckon you got a blueprinted motor by accident!
If you're heading down into Vic, I think Cann River might be open 24/7, it's a Mobil but seeing as it's out the back of whoop whoop expect to pay a decent amount...........
Close..but no cigar No, well done Thumper, thats the new club record.I reckon if you could only get 58.8 litres in the tank at refill, there may have been another 2-3 litres of diesel still at your disposal. Could have been very close if you had pushed on. I would chickened too mind you
I actually packed the jerry under everything, since the car was full with all our gear, heading off to the coast.Funny enough, after I filled up, driving through Canberra, had a steel grey i30 wanting to have a run from the lights. I just played with them, several times, overtaking them once on boost. Having an extra 300kg's of gear and two people up, still had some 'fun' Anyone else here with a steel grey i30, debadged in Canberra?Next run long distance WITHOUT peak hour traffic, I believe I can crack 1,500km.Just need others now to hit 1,400km
Right, I chickened out at 1450.1km DTE had been flashing for 268km, fuel gauge was way under E with the low fuel light on.I filled up in Canberra, Diesel was $1.399 (Had a 8c/lt off docket so worked out to be $1.319/lt)I used 58.78lt for 1450.1km3.9lt/100km indicated4.0lt/100km actual.I could have gone further! Oh well, welcome to the 1400km club!
Heh! I know it wasn't yours, had stockies on it. That, and the person driving was at least twice your size!
Rubix hands ET a pair of reading glasses.Try again bucko!
