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.
