so with the current price of diesel that works out to be just under $20 per hundred.
when looking at the price of petrol and the average consumption of them it works out about $3 per hundred more expensive.
thats not too bad i rekon?

If you're looking at running costs, don't forget that you've got increased servicing with diesel....

Don't forget about extended range of diesel and fuel availability in the outback if that affects you.
