I wish we had petrol prices as low as that, here we pay $AU 1.45 per litre for me to fill up it costs $80.00.

I did a road trip in the US in Feb & March of this year, hired a mustang for 10 weeks & was shocked at how much you guys pay for fuel, looks like the prices have dropped a lot by the photo, I remember paying $3.20 per gallon.

Be looking forward to my next road trip!

^^haha, $3.20....they had, before the drop....gotten up over $4 a gallon.

Even over $4 a gallon, its still a lot cheaper than what we pay. Now $1.45 a litre, Mondays & Tuesday are the cheaper days to buy fuel, the it goes up 10-12 cents ($1.55) for the rest of the week. (3.75 litres in a gallon)

Halfway, that's what Mercedes designed. 80c is ice cold. 120+ is overheating (as indicated).

I'm not aware of any car that runs below 173 F (80c). 190 F is the standard in older cars, 220 F is the standard in newer cars (2000+) , so it's actually running cold. Plain water boils above 100c, which is why cars use anti-freeze.

Not too much car experience?

Judging by the title, I thought this would be a thread about Hawaiian Punch!
