It is part of the explanation as to why people who live in those areas don't generally use petrol vehicles.Because of that petrol is everywhere.
I agree that the bulk of fuel used in the outback is diesel but that doesn't mean it is any more available than petrol is.
They may have a drum or two of it. Not an overhead tank of it imeNot many diesel dirt bikes or zuks on the stations I have been to.

I recon it's dead in normal passenger cars, or at least dying and that is due to the limitations that are required for emissions compliance. Transport and heavy equipment will continue to run on diesel for the foreseeable future but they don't have to comply with the same Euro 6 regs that cars do.The narrative that diesel is dead is bunkum.

Good thing the td has no electonics.
Yes I agree, I am in no rush to buy a bt50 either.
Coo that yeti![]()

Trucks are in a different category to light vehicles and have a completely different set of rules even though they are covered by the same document.Trucks are currently Euro5.
Nahh.. It was just a broken linkThe requested thread could not be found.
Looks like they didn't want reminders of all the things that were wrong at the beginning and it has been dumped.
That is hard to understand. The population of New York State is a little less than Australia and their distances are are a lot less. It's hard to believe they would use more than 10 times the amount we would. Should that have been "produces" instead of "uses" because Australia's fuel production is only a shadow of what it once was? In the last decade it's my understanding that due to Australian refinery closures (Clyde, Kurnell, Port Stanvac, Bulwer Island, Matraville) and increases in demand, we can no longer produce enough fuel for our needs even if we had the raw resources.New York uses more Diesel in 1 month than the whole of Australia uses in 1 year .
Think central heating I've never been there and doubt I ever will but how many people live there ? My daughter in law is Russian when it's cold the central heating in the town her family live in is started up and doesn't stop until the cold is over, does the whole town don't know about the yanks but presume it's similar, they run on diesel & kero = heating oilThat is hard to understand.

Military strategists say we should have 90 days of fuel reserves in the country with 60 days as a bare minimum. Instead we have 19 but t hat is a topic for another thread.
The US is just like Australia and reverse cycle aircon has largely replaced fuel oil heaters due to their reduction in energy costs. This is especially the case in New York State where more electricity is generated by hydro power than any other state east of the Rocky Mountains. These days about 1/4 of New York homes are heated by petroleum products, mainly in older buildings, but in the past more than half of homes were heated by petroleum.Think central heating
New York City has about 8mil. The greater New York metropolitan area including Long Island, parts of New Jersey and Conneticut has about 22mil while all of New York State has 19mil. Australia has 25mil. New York State's longest measurement is just over 500km while Australia's is just over 4000km.how many people live there ?
This info used to be on the front page of the old forum available to all but I don't see it now? I think we could also see what members were currently online. I always found it interesting that only 5 - 10% of current traffic was registered members and the balance were guests. Most of the posting activity from members was in the general section while most of the viewing by guests was in the technical sections, no doubt people following google searches on how to fix their Patrol. It would be interesting to be able to view this info occasionally.387 guests and 19 members on line this second
Don’t you go all tangent on me...I pointed out that remote Australia runs on diesel.
It will continue to whilst diesel powers agricultural, industrial and transport equipment, which it will for the foreseeable future.
It has storage advantages and greater energy density when compared to petrol.
At least part of the reason the 62 has sold so poorly here.
Oh it is only the series 2 and on that doesn't drink like a fish now?
Listening to you talk I thought they all had the fuel economy of a prius and the performance of a ferrari from day dot
I mean they like to rev and revs are so compatible with fuel economy. Remember that tow test where it sat at 5500 rpm in order to get going?
Despite the energy content of diesel which is 15% higher than petrol for the same volume the 62 is miserly whatever you do with it, tow, load it up or race Bathurst.
Must be an energy polariser in there or something?![]()
LolOne wonders why anyone would put themselves through such termoil and torture putting up with bowling club diesel freaks in a dying forum.
