True about the V8's on a heavy driving day, mine slurps down the juice like the bloke on the solo add :? .

But it sounds good and you have fun doing so, it's a trade-off https://www.aulro.com/afvb/Quote:

You're not wrong....love that V8 howl.... https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
It's not that bad Mick, I do have LPG as well....so it's a bit cheaper to run....I just have to fill up every 200km's though. :roll:
It surely is a great tradeoff https://www.aulro.com/afvb/, though sometimes I forget that whilst it is a V8, has a great sound when snarling, it does carry some weight, so me thinks I was dreaming when I tried to take on a BMW 330i convertible this morning, but we werent far off its tail :? , not that I am a hoon or anything 8) ,

Mines purely a weekend warrior for that reason. I used to run my Rangie(s) to work and back and in my profession I travel all over the shop I was up for well into the $100 a week for fuel 8OQuote:

I do have a transit diesel for work (ex-postie van, can't miss it https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ ), great for fuel economy like all diesls are, but it make me appreciate what acceleration is :twisted:

Yeah, my disco is also a weekend/2nd car, so I wasn't too concerned about the thristy V8......it's not really that bad for weekend highway cruising, just the stop/start commute to the city during the week.
I mostly drive my 1.3 4cyl during the week.
Mine doesnt do to bad though , not much difference from the V6 Territory I had. Mind you apart from a trip 2-3 times a week to Brissie to pick up/ drop off my children who live up there, most of it is from Mudgeeraba to Southport along the highway. I mean it aint cheap it, with current prices on premium it close on $100 a tank and Id go a tank plus a week, but hey the kids are learning to live on bread and water https://www.aulro.com/afvb/,

Stevo have a friend that has a Territory and he has no end of trouble and recalls. Did you have the same thing of may be he just picked up a lemon.
Had a great night out at the meeting, and that pub can cook up a great steak https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Cant wait for my steak next month https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Hey mate, thanks again for Friday, cant wait till Sunday. Sounds like ya mate got a lemon, I had only one prob with mine and that came after owning it for over 12 mths, it was with the ABS, other than that it was a great set of wheels. Mind it was great the D3 is greater https://www.aulro.com/afvb/,
