Now if I lived in the US, and commuted 600 miles per week, I would need 15.85 gallons (US), which averaging $4 pg that would cost me $63.4.
So I am paying 2.4 times what you guys are paying!! So quit crying about how expensive "gas" is. Puleeessseeee! |
This may seem like a stupid question, and forgive me for not knowing more about this situation "across the pond" but why a diesel engine?
