Here we go again. The most popular single topic on this list in 2007
was about tow cars.
The best way to lower your fuel consumption is to stay in the air.

Of course you could also use LPG.
Robert your C5 using 6Lt/100Km would cost you $9.88 /100Km in
Melbourne with the current fuel price of $1.64Lt
My 4lt Falcon on LPG uses 12.5 Lt/100km costing $7.61/100Km with the
current price of 60.9cLt.

What is the current price of diesel versus mogas in Australia?
In the US, the fuel companies have figured out that they can
charge more for diesel than even premium gasoline. For example, at
the moment I'm in Las Vegas where regular mogas is about $3.65US per
US gallon, premium mogas around $3.90, and diesel $4.35. These
figures are $.25 or so less than at home in California. Truckers and
those who paid extra for diesel vehicles are furious, as we all know
diesel fuel is more easily produced.
It's a matter of time before this daylight robbery happens in
Australia, if it hasn't already. If so, this throws the economic
advantage of diesel out the window and all you're left with is a bad
smell.
Not quite true. Yes, here in Aus we have diesel prices that are about
15-25c higher than petrol. but (at least in my 2.0 litre turbo diesel
Citroen C5) I am still saving money compared to the Mazda Tribute
(2.6 litre, petrol), despite that higher price.
Towing Alice in her trailer on the highway I average about 8
litres/100km (without the trailer I get 6 litres/100km) whereas with
the Mazda I got about 10 litres/100km (no trailer) and 13
litres/100km (with trailer).
Having experienced the fuel consumption (yet still sporty
performance) of these engines in a hire car in Europe, this was a
major determinant for me when I switched cars last year.
