A lot of people can't understand how we came
To have an oil shortage here in Australia.

Well, there's a very simple answer.

Nobody bothered to check the oil.

We just didn't know we were getting low.

The reason for that is purely geographical.

Our OIL is located in

Bass Strait

East Queensland Shale Fields

Canning Basin

Perth Basin
And
North-West Continental Shelf



Our DIPSTICKS are located in Canberra!!!

Any Questions ???

NO? I didn't Think So.


Grrr!!!

What has a Mitsubushi got to do with your statements? Are you talking Mitsubishi importing them into India??

i mean we still are in the mind trap of thinking it is absolutly nessessary to have a large fuel guzzling monstosity as a family car
forget about imports exports of 4ltr monsters,,,if a whole sri lankan family can travel on a single bike ,imagine how many could travel in the TATA V2 diesel[they are about the size of the original mini fitted with a 2 cylinder diesel]
its just the way you look at the world,,i have friend who says "oh i could never own a car, i do far too much traveling"
also the HOG has to go,i now have my sights set on a "posty bike",close my eyes for a second the wind feels just as good ,the rest is in my head

Ok then :-) I wouldnt use a 3.6l v6 as a good example to prove your point, as there are many other vehicles out there that are far far worse in terms of fuel efficiencies. LOL

How environmentally friendly would a 2 cylinder deisel engine be BTW?

I can just see you now turning up to the "clubhouse" on a postie bike...rofl.

thanks

What about the Commodore, the 380 was more economical.

The 380 had no export arrangement where the Commodore has.

The Toyota Camry and Aurion sells well to but the have export agreements in place.

If Commodore, Camry and Aurion did not have exports they would be in the same boat a the 380.

Much the same a the Falcon is.
