How much is fuel where you are ???????????

[BrisVegas]

Yeah, the diesel Pathfinder looks to be one of the better options around. If "they" would stop gouging Australians on the diesel price, cars like that would be even cheaper to run.

What is your Focus averaging? Im getting low 7's after almost 40,000km in mine. For our next car we were wanting to get something with 7 seats, but there just doesn't seem to be anything on the market that gets reasonable fuel economy and seats 7. I'd consider an LPG conversion on a Ford Territory or something, but who knows where LPG prices will go too....

Getting on average about 6.8 to 7.2L/100km. Car has done just on 55000km. Up for renewal next May. Thinking another Focus either the Xr5 or the diesel.

I am on about 7.5 at the moment, i reset the counter in about March and havent turned on the AC since. with the AC on 100% of the time i got about 8.4 from memory.

I am using E10 fuel, i think thats 95 ron. Gave up on the 98 ages ago, i didnt see it making any realisable difference.

[Grunt]

MTB E10 is NOT recommended by Ford!! It can run on E5 but we don't have it here.

[markTHEblake]

thats the previous Focus that doesnt like E10, our model is fine

[Grunt]

Yours is the same as mine isn't it MTB. I was informed that it is not recommended.

[markTHEblake]

Suggest you check with your informant and ask him his source.

Yeah just checked that page and pre 2004 Focus's are not compatible. Guess I took a Ford employees word rather than look it up.

[Dazza]

I've got a BA MkII Falcon ute & a BF MkII Falcon ute.
Only the BF is E10 compatible.

$1.79 for Diesel
$1.57 for Unleaded
That was at the start of last week when I last fuelled up.

[BrisVegas]

i'm not putting that ethanol crap in my car!

Funny the price of Diesel up here is only a couple of cents higher than Brisbane, it pretty much averaged around the 180 mark all the way from Moranbah to Brisbane. One thing I noticed, up here the difference between ULP and Diesel is around 18 to 20 cents and in Brisbane is 30 cents

I haven't got a overly large tank in my ute and it is a $100+ fill now if I go to the warning light or close to it

Yeah and when you do a search using Motormouth it states a tip
"Not familiar with a service station address? Search for that address with Google Maps."

The google widget shows the servos.
