1996 VW Passat TDI. FIFTY (50) miles per gallon. A 20 gallon tank, so around 1000 miles on a full tank. With a custom chip and larger injectors, it's making roughly 130hp and 230 ft/lbs. That's more torque than my Carrera 3.2. Oh and did I mention, FIFTY miles per gallon? 
And it's not a tin-can hybrid.

Johan,
Die eerste tyd ek het a Porsche gesein was in Suid Afrika oor 20 jaare gelede. Maar net die ein tyd. Are there many people with porsches there now? Sorry if my afrikaans is not good. It has been a long time since I have used it.

Hi Mike. Your Afrikaans is very good! Yes there are many Porsche owners here. I'm not currently a member of the Porsche club, but I attended some time trial events where 100 participants turned up, only from the Gauteng (You may remember it as "Witwatersrand") area. I think the time trial participants make up a small percentage of the total club membership, and then there are many other owners who do not belong to the club.
Beste Groete!
Johan

Ok you Blokes,
When you see this you'll know why my 911's not finished!
1983 Honda Accord. Flawless silver duco. 200,000 Km. Runs on Gas, No, I mean "real" gas (LPG). Home made Bullbar fitted due to me having 3 Kangaroo strikes in the last 18 months. ( 2 more and I'll be an Ace)
Engine very tired. Even moderate hills require a downchange.
Returns 9 litres per 100km ( roughly 31mpg ).
I now do 500km every weekend in it instead of the 900 I was doing 8 months ago.
Total cost, post insurance company payout after a Roo strike and I bought the wreck back off them, $300 AU (that's $216 USD)
Owned it just on two years.
