Yeah but we are driving Corollas, Gina has only got about 2 points left so she has slowed up a bit, I still have heaps, do you know that a Corolla will do 180KPH? Try that in your F250 & see how much you use a week. :cool:

What makes it particularly sad is that some recent laboratory tests showed the bottled water had more sediments and bacteria than tap water, in almost every instance (test conducted in Melbourne using Melbourne tap water).

I dunno what you lot are whinging about...

I dropped into the local servo with an empty wine bottle and rag stopper, but the bloke behind the counter said he wouldn't sell me any petrol for love nor money. :rolleyes: He did sell me a lighter, though... :D

This just proves that nothing can live on the Melb water & the sediment is so heavy it settles out before it comes out of the tap. :D

Trust you to go at it backasswards Cluff!:p Don'tcha have a tree to extricate from your shed or something?

Our trip from Geelong to Brisbane cost exactly $247 in fuel using the highest octain fuel available. Vehicle: longwheel base Toyota highace. Load : approx 900kg Distance : 1741 km I thought this was pretty good.

Now here's the wierd part. Same trip last year cost $293 and the year before $276 according to our log books.

So how come the big difference. Partly due to cruise control and partly dueto GPS and new motor. GPS took us a different route that was way further than the direct route we always take and somehow cut almost 7 hours off the journey..... Go figure.

Wierd stuff eh ........ Neil :)
