But now I'm just used to it, not bad I get about 300km highway driving out of the gas tank its 80 litres.
I don't do the kM you do. Its hard to compare this to modern cars economy but as I was told when my Sandman was new, fuel cost about 25 cents a litre.
25c a litre? must be a late Sandman!!
Petrol was about 17 to 20 cents a litre when I first got my licence in '79.
An HJ doing 17l/100km is a bit high, my Landrover Discovery does that so I put it on gas. My old HZ sedan 253/traumatic used to get around 10.5 litres per 100km on a run which was better than my 202/3spd HZ ever did.
