Fair Go's integrity?
Hah!
On the same programme,they put a camera in front of a TV screen,on an angle,to show that viewers couldn't read the fine print on a TV ad.
Rather than show the actual ad on screen and prove themselves fools.

When the ad was live it was still impossible to read the fine print. Also, the fine print was not on screen long enough for anyone to read it right through even if it was legible.

I fill my bike at Shell nearly all the time, as I ride past a couple between home and work regardless of which way I go.

Used to get 340 - 350 Km from FULL to reserve every time.
Now get 310 -320 Km before reserve.
Don't think my riding style is changed in the last month or so.

Makes it about 10% reduction is fuel economy on the "Go further" formula.
Was surprised to see the Fair Go result, not at all what I have experienced.

Come on now Highlander. Don't make me out to be younger than I really am. My youngest son is still a year older than Sunhuntin. But I still pass my pilots licence eyesight test each year.

yes, I do fly. As do quite a few others on here. Terbang likes planes with large jet engines under each wing, whereas I prefer either a single engine in front, or better still, No engines at all.

ooo, gliders! must admit, i have wondered how the hell you land those?
went to ohakea over the weekend....was not what i expected. actually, was a waste of time and money! best bit was the two planes on the runway, lol. inside it was nothing but photos and stuff.

Where can i buy mothballs from? i watched mythbusters last night, and the nepthylane in the mothballs jumps up the octane rating of the petrol a fair amount (used to put it in my Renault back in South Africa)
