Not an accountant nor a lawyer neither.
But not against saving a couple of thousand dollars a year
e.g. 60000km @ 6km/litre = 10,000 litres of fuel used and 60000 @ 7km/litre = 8571 litres of fuel used - 10000 - 8571 = 1429 : 1429 litres x $1.50 = $2143.50 savings on fuel cost p.a.
Worth having in my pocket I reckon.

Great info, thank you. I do believe fuel is going to keep rising and that we will surpass the 2006 highs. But hey, the couch does get comfy, so the trips can still happen.

I don't worry about the cost of fuel just how far I can go on what I carry. For my trip to Lake Eyre after easter I will load up 2 205lt drums and 4 20lt cans onto the back of the ute and head off, that should give me about 4000K's, the fuel will cost me about $225.00 as I make my own (Bio-diesel) about 40c per lt, so the weight dosent worry me either as I have somewhere to offload it as a base and the tank + 4X20lt drums give me about 1000K's.
Is there anyone else using Bio-diesel in their patrol out there?
Keith.
