Gentlemen, to put things into perspective,
Way down here in New Zealand we are presently paying NZ$2.41 per litre for =
premium 98 octane petrol guaranteed with NO ethanol content from selected M=
obil, and some BP and Caltex stations around the country.
At the current USD v NZD exchange rate of 73 cents, that is US$1.76 per lit=
re =96 or $6.66 per US gallon. That is exactly NZ$8.00 per Imperial gallon=
.
I got 27.5 mpg from our tri-carb on a 2,278 mile trip to our National Rally=
in the South island in March. I=92m very pleased with that.
The further south we got, the worse the gas got. It seems to be more preva=
lent in the South Island.
The car LOVES being back home in Auckland.
In the Auckland region we pay an extra 10 cents plus tax to fund roading an=
d transport projects. At least, that=92s where our government tell us it=
=92s going.
Frankly, I think a lot of that money is funding the literally hundreds of t=
housands of orange road cones clogging up our roads!

ways to close that gap. Unleaded regular is up 60 to 70 cents in the last t=
