that steep hill wouldnt help ur average... i would try resetting the trip computer to measure the average AFTER u have arrived at the top of the hill... that way it wouldnt be slowly dropping from an overly high average if u reset at the BOTTOM of the hill... get me?

Petrol at $1.349 - it is ridiculous.

I am seriously considering gas research for the NL.

No petrol at all, just LPG.

Neighbours keep telling me to go to diesel - how much would that cost?

I may even sell the NL and just work on the NF - that has got LPG, but a bad looking rear.

keep it either dedicated fuel or dedicated gas... as either are reliable... sometimes "gremlins" can creep into an engine that is "Duel fuel"... not saying there isnt reliable "duel fuels" or they "dont work"... just hear of less things happening to the "dedicated" cars... no diesel fords...-ATM... mayby soon though...
