    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

    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!
