[Nessie]

here is ma wee Patrol. i think i rushed into buying a gas/ petrol model. never through about the fact i cant go on long trips as the distance you get on a tank of gas sucks

Feel your pain there Nessie. Mine's lucky to get 400km total (and even that requires feathering throttle n a tailwind). LPG $1.15 here too, so I mostly run on the petrol ($1.25) sub tank... oh, well...

[Nessie]

that sucks! my sub tank only holds about 30l so i wouldnt be able to do that, but gas is only 54c here. but its a pain in the but, i use the patrol as my main car and travel 80 odd kms each way to work, so i am going through a tank every 2 days.
ill keep her for a while and then try get something in Diesel, but ive been warned away from the 3l deisels pre 2005.

Yep - mine too. 30 litre sub. 120-odd km range on petrol.
Hard to find jerry cans for LPG isn't it...

I'm getting at least 400 km out my gas system week in week out, but once I add a long range sub tank I should be good for around 800 km all up.

$1.15 and 54c that's a huge difference! Where are you guys located? (roughly if you don'e want to be specific)

Makes me appreciate my 169 Litres of diesel for remote touring.

What size is the long range sub? I didnt know that was even an option

Goldfields WA for $1.15 (actually $1.09 or $1.16 according to Fuelwatch today - only two outlets carry LPG) Tourists must hate it. Don't see many of the little-red-diamonds around town for good reason.

I'd probably get better if completely LPG rather than dual fuel I gather... recall it having something to do with tuning being a compromise between the two fuels, but not being ideal for either? Anyone confirm this?
