[loanrangie]

Anyone have a link to a website that has a distance calculator like from point A to point B ?

Sometimes you need to be careful about the route it takes...

(I used it to give a time from Inskip point to Eurong on Fraser Island.... it went via harvey bay and across the island!..)

But generally not bad.

I also use www.NRMA.com.au (http://www.NRMA.com.au)

Good old www.whereis.com.au (http://www.whereis.com.au) isn't too bad.

I too use whereis.com.au

[incisor]

in qld, my experience is whereis.com.au is woeful compared to racq.com.au when it comes to accuracy and nearly always at best routes to take.... so i imagine the other state motoring assoc sites may use the same data source as racq....

i always used whereis but after spending the last month or so doing so pretty extensive planning for two different trips, i have gotta say the racq data is a lot more accurate....

whereis could not find your house number, it would only bring up nnumber 24

At 20 ltr per 100km, I would be getting my V8 tuned. Open road cruising should see 13-15 litres per hundred.

No BigJon,

At the moment much of my drivng is short distances around town. 20 is typical of a DII 4.0 in those conditions - comes down on the highway... but most DII V8's never get below 16.

Check this one: RACQ (http://www.racq.com.au/cps/rde/xchg/racq_cms_production/hs.xsl/trip_planner_ENA_HTML.htm)

For example, Adelaide to Melbourne: 726.45 kms, 9:08 hours :)

a little of tack but i found www.zoomin.com.au (http://www.zoomin.com.au) last night.... looks like it uses very similar data to destinator.....

[BigJon]

Mark, surely Melbourne to Wagga isn't all stop start city driving?:eek:

[spudboy]

Incisor - that zoomin website is really good.

If you want to find a route between two places, I quite like this one:
http://local.live.com/default.aspx?wip=2&v=2&style=r&rtp=~&&msnurl=home.aspx?%26redirect%3dfalse&msnculture=en-US
even if it is a Microsoft website.

Does distances, etc too. Quite neat

And even less in a V8 P38A with LPG. I can get 300km out of 54 litres so that would be 81 litres - about $45 at the moment. (I fuelled up tonight at 45 cents/litre, diesel was $1.25 :) )

I get regularly 13 on highway with the 4.6 P38A using petrol, 17-18 highway on LPG.

Around town, 18 on petrol, 20-21 LPG

Buggered if I understand why Ron... but from what I've seen the 4.6 is often more economical that the 4.0:eek:
