The way I figure it is this.
Long range tank would be about $700 I'm guessing.
Would be about 160lt?
Gas is $2150 -$500 rebate, but + $850(ish) to relocate the spare wheel.
It halves the fuel bill every week and pays for itself within about 40,000kms (less if fuel prices keep rising - $1.12/lt ULP last week, and $0.39.9 for Gas this week).
Most of what we're using the vehicle for is touring, the 4x4'ing we'll do would mainly be to get to somewhere to fish, or
camp.
Also, long range tank is still only one fuel container. To be safe I would still need to carry some spare fuel in case the tank gets a hole.
The duel fuel gives me a longer range, saves me money around town at least, and means my fuel is in two different tanks, neither of which are inside the car.
Would have thought the resale price would be a little higher with duel fuel.
You're right about the economy though. Getting on average under 12L/100kms.
