I'm loving the diesel prices at the moment

I use my DMax for work and pleasure.

Fortunately as a self employed gardener I am able to pick my travel times so as to avoid the peak hour traffic and I have become an avid diesel price watcher.

So far this 2016 I have only filled my tank twice and will fill it again next Monday.  My average price is $25 per week and that includes doing a 650klm round weekend trip once per month.

I can't tell you enough how pleased I am that I chose the DMax, it has surpassed my expectations.  I feel safe and it reminds me that I my lead foot days are over.

I was filling up at a truck servo the other day and a driver came over and said, he would fill my tank for me and said i should wear gloves when using diesel.  All truck drivers do.

Cheers everyone.  :icon_salut:

I traded up to my MU-X from a Corolla a month and a half ago and couldn't be happier either!

I use the paper towel from the servo instead of gloves.

Diesel prices are at the same or lower than what they were back in 2006 so make the most of it before the big rise.

Only due to fill up for the third time in 2+ months - wow. I'm guessing you don't do too many kilometers then. I figure I'm doing good if I can keep the fillups to under 1 per week. I do have a 120km round trip to/from work each weekday, plus a regular a 150km weekend round trip each week, let alone any other running about. Add in the holiday trips etc and I usually average about 40,000km a year. A bit more than the WA average, but I'm sure there are many out there that regularly do more.

As you say though, the dmax is economical on fuel, especially compared to my previous vehicles.

This is the best I have got diesel at for ages, effectively 91.9c/litre  :icon_thumleft:
(had to buy the Cherry Ripe that was staring at me)
