I saw this on another site.
No idea if the deal or product is good, but could be worth looking at even if it a complete waste of time.
No affiliation etc.

I'll get there someday, or die wanting to.

Howdy Norm, you will be so pleased at how little fuel your new vehicle uses you won't need extra capacity. Cheers

I'm with Barry, after 7000km my Ranger's economy is getting better all the time. Had a two-day trip out into the WA wheatbelt at the weekend, all sealed road running returned 7.5l/100km.

Cheers

Hi Rocco
I get no where near that out of mine.
But in its defence I do have a canopy on the back

Gidday Norm

I have to say to have been very pleased with the economy.

I usually get around mid 8s in midweek running but this is just with me on board, no load and most of the trip to work is on freeway outside peak hours so there is no crawling along.

On the weekend trip it was two up and a bit of camping gear, just enough to stop the rear end bounce! At the speed limit on the highway we are just loping along.

I think (apart from looks which I think are average) they are a great vehicle and good value for money.

Cheers Rocco
