How to beat the petrol companies

[flappist]

During a long converstaion last night I came up with this cunning plan.
Many on here are ****ed off with petrol companies but can not do much about it.
With the advent of small turbo diesel cars e.g. Focus & Golf it has been demonstrated that these have performance above the equivelent petrol models with far better economy.
They also will run on Biodiesel which is much cheaper and NONE of its profit goes to oil companies.
Biodiesel is much safe than petrol as it is difficult to ignite and produces less pollution.
The problem is that is is not available everywhere.

So here is the plan.

Falcon sized RWD turbo diesel 400Nm engine fitted with 300 litre fuel tanks. At 7l/100km this will give a range of over 4000km per fill and at 50c/litre will cost $150 to fill from empty. The performance should be on par with the current petrol vehicles and with the 4000km range you could fill up in Sydney, drive to Melbourne and back (twice) before filling up again. You dont need petrol stations every 300km. 300l of fuel weighs about 220kg (2 fat FPV owners) so this car fully fuelled will still weigh less than the majority of 4WD shoeboxes that abound in the urban jungle.....

Any comments?
