I've had a sun visor on all my cars except one. :bowdown: I Luv em!! They reduce heat and give my hands some shade when driving.
next, you'll be putting on venetian blinds and a crocheted rug on the back seat..haha..
Sorry, the other half luvs 'em too !!! Wanted to put one on my XM and I said NO !!!
your visa is not what i thought it was thought it was solidQuote:

I've been thinking about this roofy and realised I've already done a test (of sorts). I keep a fuel log on the gps and filled up today. A full tank (lpg= about 300km) of normal driving with the visor on. before visor 24.73 l/km, after 24.15 l/km. ppfffttt ... go figure.Quote:

perhaps the LSD shudder is because the oil used did not have Limslip additive?
ARE YOU 4.5 OR 4.8Quote:

BUT SOME GAS IS BETTER THAN OTHERS,I CAN GET 4OO OUT OF MINE PUSH IT A BIT AND 426Ks OUT OF THE LPG TANK
Shreq is 4.5 as well. 18 l/100km ... wow. I've had the gas checked and a professional service this month and I'm told that all is in good order! I'm a big fella but I'd hate to find out I was the cause of excessive fuel consumption :-( At about a 20% fuel saving I'll investigate further. I don't know what could cause such a large difference though. I've got no draws, steel, armour or large tanks.Quote:

edit -
I checked the fuel consumption records on the gps and discovered an overall average of 18l/100km. what?
I always enter fuel use details at the pump into the gps and when I tell it i'm done it always tells me an average of 23-25l/100km for that tank of fuel (lpg).
I think my fuel economy is about right after reading this consumption / economy thread.
