ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 27d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 13/11/07 10:47 AM Share Posted 13/11/07 10:47 AM Nice choice in cars, but they are one big sucker of a SUV. I think they are the longest on the market.The only problem with buying an oiler in Oz is our Diesel SUCKS bigtime. European diesel is far better. It is like comparing ULP with BP Ulitmate or Optimax. It burns heaps cleaner and produces more power.Unfortunatly I do not see that changing anytime soon. Also the price of Diesel seems to be 20c per litre more than ULP, so I would hope they have better economy.
