Ok, firstly i didnt say it doesnt matter if it is tuned to run soley on gas, i said it doesnt matter to much if it is tuned to favour gas.

Secondly it cant be tuned to run solely on gas if it is dual fuel as that would defeat the purpose of dual fuel wouldnt it?

If you are going to comment fine, but at least read what i have said prior before you do.

Just seeing if you type blue to contradict me. My advice considering you'll be replacing your daily driver with it,
if you have money in your pocket to burn spend it on getting the laser fixed up, you'll be better off financially than buying a V8 gas or no gas.

I've got no advice other than if the rangie has been running on gas for most of its life - there's a good chance that the mtr is in very good condition. Gassed donks last longer. Buy the rangie for the fun not economics. Economics is boring.

Who has contradicted you? Ahh stuff it i couldnt be bothered.

Im not stupid dobbo, i know buying a V8 RR is less cost effective than a Laser, thats not the point of buying it. We want something bigger which will be as cheap to run as possible, we have looked at others and another 4wd would be nice, i cant afford a diesel disco and rangies are cheap, if its on gas all the better.

There we go some positive advice, i understand that a RR is less economical than a Laser, and i understand it will be more expensive to run, but i amjust comparing fuel costs for curiosities sake, fuel isnt cheap at the moment so it needs to be considered no matter what you buy and we all have limits, if what has been posted here this RR should be well within my limits.

Better buy a Suzuki or Daihatsu...A 87RR will not be cheap to run

If it's so cheap to run, and such a good car
Why is he selling it?


This car in question was built when petrol was less than 50c a litre, gas was around 17c.


It used to be economical to run.
