    It's 3.5% of one tonne. So for a one tonne car it means 3.5% more rubber on the road.

    Wouldn’t think that’s great mileage for a small car. My Mazda 6 diesel easily does over 800 km per tank mixed driving and definitely not sparing the horses. Costs about the same to fill granted diesel is cheaper than petrol.

    In fairness, one full day without a breakdown is above average for a landrover.

    Do you drive it :P

    In fairness as well, I had one and, other than near constant fuel leaks and pieces of trim falling off all the time, it wasn't as bad as a lot of them are.

    You need to get one of these :

    This Amazon review for this product really cheered me up today.


    "You have to buy more than one to really get the benefit
    September 24, 2015
    Why buy just one? I used a huge series of splitters and adapters to plug in 100 of these, and now my car uses no gas at all. In fact it actually generates fuel as I drive. Starting with an empty tank, I put in one drop of gas, plugged in my FuelShark array, and started driving. Ten minutes later, my gas tank was so full it overflowed and started spraying gas all over the road. Now I sell gas to chumps who don't know about the FuelShark. In less than a month I've earned enough money to begin construction of a power plant that will harness over 9000 FuelSharks to generate enough free energy to run a large factory. The factory will produce 100,000 FuelSharks every day. In one week, the entire planet will be powered by FuelSharks. In one month, spacecraft will be launched to Mars in order to disassemble it for material for more FuelSharks. In one year, most of the solar system will be converted into FuelSharks, providing enough energy for humans to colonize the entire galaxy."

    And it only got 4 stars!

    Just for some balance here is another review.

    Things like these make my heart ache for Humanity
    December 6, 2014
    How could ANYONE think this would save you money by improving gas mileage??!?!?!
    It is not mechanically, or electrically possible. THere is no possible way a LED plugged into the power port, or cigarette lighter port, to help IN ANY SIZE, WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, with improving gas mileage.
    Are people that gullible? Seriously?!?!
    Things like these make my heart ache for Humanity. We are doomed.

    Not fair.

    Down in Oz everyone always recommends a Landrover if you want to go to the outback*.








    *But if you want to come back take a Landcruiser.

    Few years ago I loaded with carbs and with a couple of rest breaks managed 200km. This links nicely to the username thread as it was the Wicklow 200 and I had number 666, which became the number of the Beasty....

    :pac:


    But how many farts did you get to each slice of bacon?
