mine depends on traffic ... and what sort of driving I do.
to and from work (always in manual mode) ... 11L/100km at the moment

weekends = backroads, outer metro, driving like Cav and 6's and 6's are doable without issue.


If Cav is getting 7's with the 5-speed auto ... the ute's in pretty decent condition mechanically.

Id say the smart investment would be to use superannuation to buy a bakery. Pay staff to run it, free pastrys and at the end of the week count the takings and profit from it. Its a win win.

The CD player doesn't work!

When I try to load a CD it pulls it in half way and then ejects them.

Maybe it doesn't like my music.

I'll have to borrow a non country music CD from a mate to see if my hypothesis is correct.

Have you tried the other type of music, Western?

Is it a stacker that’s already full?

If you think the reader head needs cleaning, I can recommend an album called “Force” by the German band Flexovit. It has some powerful, repetitious grooves that will really make a difference to how the unit works. You can easily buy it here:
