    I read somewhere that a guy in australia invented some crazy fuel saving device. It may even have been a fuel alternative & a couple of days after going public he dissapeared off the face of the earth

    I've heard the stories of that, but no one can say for sure whether they are actually killed off, or if petrol hungry space aliens snatch them for anal probing, and cheap petrol...

    I think the oil companies take the body's out to the offshore oil rigs and dump them in an empty drill shaft, those fuckers go down a couple of K. No body no proof.

    So,I propose to submit my presentation to the Government for a lowering of the National Speed Limit to 85kph in the interest of saving fuel - do I have your support?
    Y'bastidge. It IS my heavier return spring idea.

    The bonus is, oil is just rearranged carbon molecules, as are humans. All the inventors that mysteriously dissapear are fixing the oil problem for tomorrows children! How thoughtful!

    I had noticed my fuel economy drop the more I used it on the open road,when I lived in the city it got 10km/litre consistantly,but now it does 99% open road work it's down to 9km/litre.The Pajero is a 2 tonne brick,the faster it goes the harder it is to push,any hill requires full throttle,around town it's just loafing,it never has to work at all.

    Mind you I am of the opinion that a diesel has to work hard to be efficiant,and that running under light loads might not be too good for it in the long term.My Nissan van on the other hand is under powered and has a manual trans - you drive it like a 50cc stepthrough,full throttle and on the govenor for every gearchange.It doesn't matter if it's loaded to the roof and towing a trailer,it just works it's ring off and is very economical to boot.

    But comparing the Pajero to the NX Coupe which is light with a multipoint injected motor 1000cc smaller - the Pajero is very fuel efficient.

    Yep, happens all the time.

    Motu, run for your life and go bush. Hide mate, while you can.
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    The Govt's considering a 70km/h limit as a fuel conservation measure now. They will be increasing GST to 15% to compensate for the lower tax take.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    All you do is wire up fuel sender unit the other way around.
    The further you go, the fuller your tank gets. You just have to be careful to sell some back at the nearest petrol station when the tank gets really full, otherwise the motor stops. Must be flooding I reckon.
