    Cannot understand why a van or ute attracts a higher RUC rate than the equivalent SUV ... and it pisses me off.

    Diesel ones don't have injector probs, manly see egr probs for getting putted round town
    Have a couple I see that have 400+ks
    If I had to pick I'd go diesel at least if you load it up you will be able to hit 100kph

    Diesel doesn't produce carbon monoxide, but wouldn't want fumes from either of them. But the petrol produces an odourless poison.

    Well it is a great deal lower in CO. Well over an order of magnitude difference. As I said, I wouldn't want to suck on the exhaust of either.

    A van full of seats and registered as a private vehicle has lower registration price than a freight van because of it

    It's extortion: you drive a Hilux & pay higher RUC or drive a Surf & pay less... same vehicle, different body style.... same wear & tare on the road.... still pisses me off

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    My workmate has a 2.7 petrol 2wd hilux, he finds it pretty economical and enough grunt to trailer his drift car.

    Used to have a 2.7 petrol as a work truck. Went well, wouldn't call it gutless.
