    my car...

    Its unbelieveable, but its broken already. the timing belt had snapped and caused at least 2 bent valves. hurray, 2000 euros costs on that car.

    I just saw a commercial talking about how tough land rovers are.

    I guess they lied!

    Yes they do, but they still cost a hell of a lot of money and their fuel consumption is too much to pay

    Here is a picture of a truck that parks a few miles from me and if you think the fuel mileage stinks on an old Bronco you would hate this.

    Gas mileage has got to be an issue even for your Freelander. You guys are paying the equivalent of $8.68!There would be riots in the streets if/when gas hits those prices here.

    Man that sucks.
    I pulled the latest petroleum market weekly price report and did the conversion from litres to gallons and then $AU to $US.
    It seems in Australia we are paying US$5.38 per Gallon!
    We really are being FLEECED!
