you probably just drive alot faster than me & you do travel alot more than i do as well so thats why you use more juice..lol

thorp told me they have 45l tanks & when i saw that only 45l's of fuel can go into my tank from empty i accepted that it was a 45l tank

but ya i dont understand how u get 53l of fuel into your tank & i cannot

anyways, i aint complaining..lol

lol i wouldnt be complaining either if i was in your shoes...we learn a lil something new everyday :duim:

Made sure I kept this slip..Check here
My ute's fuel light came on just past the Engen Winelands 1-stop & I filled up there close by Teasers in CY :angel:
The light didn't flash as yet though & I was driving hard

42.28L of fuel, thats all it took to top up

:claugh: Nah I dunno then...would really like for this to be explained, maybe we should make a trip to GM & ask :claugh:

And on this day I budgeted for like R550 or so to fill up cos I was on empty plus I drove like 15km's from my reserve also, to the garage PLUS the fuel price went up also!

but surprisingly my Ute wasn't thirsty enough. I smiled when at R490, it was full. I ain't complaining :mrgreen:

lol i hate you, every trip to the garage i have to pray it will be less than R650 most of the times i have to tell the dude to stop pumping because i get too sad watching the numbers just run up and not even slow down...i think that trip to GM should be planned lol
