Hi, all.
Just working the calculator, our daily cost for diesel has hit $7.35!! If you think that's bad enough, one of our 4.5kg gas bottles has run out!! Is Ebay any good for refills?
The new bottle's only good for 3 weeks, so any ideas you have in the very near future would be appreciated.
Missing the little bloke and
see you on the back roads,
shonky

Re: Budgeting
Well, you have a 3 week lead time before the second bottle runs out, off to St Vinnies, some stilettos, fishnet stockings and a short skirt, you could try working nights around the local pubs. Get a friend to follow you with a camera, walk up to some one who looks as though they'd have 20 bucks in the wallet, tongue in their ear as the flash goes off, $20 to delete the photo..... maybe a bit of practice running for your life in high heels might be advisable before the first outing though

Shonky, there is a fella here i think you might like (or may not) to meet, he is very good with methane supplies but I don't know if he has developed the system for getting it into the cylinders yet, but you could ask just incase
( His name is Chuck)

Hi, all.
Phil - IMHO speed relates inversely to comfort.
TI Terry - Out of curiosity, what have been the formative events in your life?
Great idea, mind you.

Hi, all.
Dot - is it OK to call you Dotty? There was a chinese truckie in Wacol who piped petrol fumes into his truck's air filter as required. Can you ask Chuck if this would work with methane?

Re: Budgeting
Shonky, I bet Chuck will come on soon enough to answer your questions

HI, all.
Well the daily average fuel cost has crept down to a reasonable $6.91, but now we're missing one of our tent pegs! Do these expenses never stop?
No, TI Terry, we can manage this out of the Jim Beam tin and, while your advice is always welcome for the psychological revelations therein, we're really OK thanks.
