    The max only has a 15L, so even cheaper. And at over 270 kg, I'll pay the 20cpl

    Yes indeed supermarket dockets are not accepted, between Fox and Wanaka I chuck in $10 worth at Haast so I know I won't be pushing it, have gone from Fox to Hawea with 0.5 litre to spare, won't repeat it.

    You can buy siphoning hoses now so you dont have to swallow the first 100ml's of gas.
