G'day mate,My neighbour is an accountant, when he bought an I30 a couple of years ago he did what accountants do and worked out to the last cent if it would be cheaper in the long run to buy a diesel or petrol model - he worked out it would take over 200,000k for the diesel to be the cheaper option.I just said a lot, and all I needed to say was, my neighbor is very happy with his i30 Smokey
I'm paying a lot less for my diesel fuel than my neighbours and workmates are paying for their petrol, so tbe figures might need recalculating.
Reading re preference for auto, is it the same in oz that if you pass test in auto you can only drive auto but pass in manual you can drive both?

Both our middle son and our daughter did this. Later, when they moved back to Qld, they were issued with full licences for manual.In Qld, if you passed on an auto you had to redo the test to be legally able to drive a manual.

In SA, once you have your licence, you can drive both an auto or a manual. Bob
In SA, different state, different rules. I don't agree with the SA rules, but that's the state of play. Bob

BobThat seems pretty stupid, other than the safety risks they then also wouldn't be able to drive a manual in any other state You've got no argument from me on that. Bob
