Ive driven Sschmez's as well and mine goes a lot harder, something to do with how the auto was changing I recon, his tends to hold gears more than mine so he runs out of torgue before it changes up.

It may cost the same to run but you wont get the range and there's bugger all if any servo's in the middle of the bush or the outback .

Just for instance, a V8 disco, 80ltr tank (same as Diesel) drives into Mitchels flat, does about 30kms 4wding and is on fumes driving out after having a 20ltr Jerry can drink.

Granted you have a gas tank as well giving you a bit more but off road you cant beat the economy of a diesel.

Neither mine or stevo's are rocket ships but nore are 3.9V8s

Cant argue with that....

Mine minus mufflers sounds like a big long fart....

After you get the range of a standard Diesel Disco after adding all the extra weight of sill tanks and LPG tanks you will need to tow a trailer as you wont have any load area.

Mine also now has a 135ltr long range tank....how many gas tanks would you need to keep up with that

Ever heard of the snail and the hare......this is more like 2 snails, 1 with flatulence and one that sounds realy realy cool but needs to pull over and eat a whole heap more than the other
