They arent really that bad on fuel. I get about 790k`s both tanks round town and about 950k`s cruising at 110kph full loaded (couldnt quiet make Newcastle -Melb with out fuelling)

I like the comfort so a little extra in fuel aint that much .

To get good fuel range dont drive with your foot to the floor,pay a little extra now and again and run PULP

as is the answer...one of them on gas will cost you 15 cents per km as opposed to 23c for a diesel...then the diesel uses twice the oil twice as often...filters are 30 bux a pop if you buy 10 at a time, the 4.5 uses a ford z9.....get injected gas and pay 1500 with the gov rebate and you will never look back.
