Sooo $19.40 per kilo.
Specific gravity of petrol is around .7
So at $1.50 a litre, is about $1.10 per kilo.
VE is more expensive on a dollar vs mass basis.
To take it further, alloytec is supposed to get 10.9l/100km, so taking that average, over 20,000km it's going to use around 2180l of petrol.
Assuming petrol stays at or around$1.50 a litre (I know its rough), Holden have to pick up 51c per litre used, so about $1100 over that 20,000km.
How can you work that shit out at this time of the morning.
Holden Boost sales by providing free fuel. I will work as people who will buy a new car anyway will take the fuel with it.
So Ford, Nissan, Toyota owners will change over.
