The first servo I stopped at had run out of diesel. A tank normally costs me $100 less.

    I was gonna ask what vehicle had a 72 gallon tank, and then realized this is in litres. Still must be one of those massive trucks we made standard over here in the US

    Edit: HOLY FUCK! THATS JUST 19.2 gallons of gas! There would be mass shootings at the pump. Well more of them, anyway. That comes out to $12.03 a gallon, for my other US friends

        Based on conversion of Fiat. What is it in buying power overall? Like, how many macca’s big macs is that over there? Or how many bus fares?

      My family wagon has 60L tank, and it is not a big car. Just build for AU condition where you can have 300km between servos. 72L is normal.

        Yeah, nah. I didn’t realize how small litres are. My SAABs had 16 gallon tanks. AU has some lonely patches in the outback, but there are places in the US where you’ll see signs that say “Last fuel for 250-300 miles,” and those places always charge a ton extra. (That’s 402-482km)
