After I've spent hours,(and a fortune),trying to solve a mechanical problem with my bike,it will inevitably turn out to be the one simple thing that I've overlooked,and that will cost nothing to repair.
Diesel only costs more because it has more tax / duty on it - it's actually cheaper to manufacture than petrol. The reason there is more tax on it is that the government figured out that diesel cars use less fuel, so to get the same amount of money from diesel drivers they upped the tax on DERV.
That's as may be but it's still more expensive than petrol and therefore the term "for tight mean people and skinflints" does not apply.
to turn that around i had a 156 2.4 20v diesel that would average 50mpg, my stillo 2.4 20v petrol would average 35mpg the alfa was just as quick.
There's a 9 out of 10 chance that a silly thread on Ducatiforum.co.uk will descend into a subjective argument :wink:
Can guarantee that if you hide something in your home for security-some time later when you want it you won't remember where you hid it.This of course only applies to those of a certain age. One can also go up the stairs to get something,forget when you are up there,but remember when you have come down the stairs.
