i think im going to have to buy a wee car since its costing me a frikken fortune in gas too. Bloody shame since the Paj is super comfy for a tall fat bastard like me. Im going to look ridiculous driving a swift! (Tho i do actually fit in a swift.. just look like im driving a big shoe rather than a car.)

towing a 3 ton boat will be fun with the swift, safe as, just keep it below 50.

I get around 9 -9.5km per ltr in my 2.7 V6 grand vitara, towing the caravan that drops to 5 - 6km
I had a swift prior (and am neither short nor skinny) but it was a fun wee go kart. 1.3L 5 speed and under a ton (before I got in) round town it did about 17km per ltr

lol... i towed my boat from Nightcaps to Milford sound and back and the fuel use gauge was topped out at 33/100 the whole way... i fuelled up in Te Anau and had to refuel on the way out (90 lt tank). Poor Paj had no idea what hit it. As an aside , i have at v6 2stroke 175hp outboard on the boat and it aint cheap to run either!
