The new trans locks the torque convertor in 3rd gear and at 100km/h I am am sitting on 12-13L to the hundred, same as a petrol vehicle really saving 60c per litre. I have 2 BF mk III ex taxi wagons at 357,000 and 458,000 km and as my small business fleet cars they cant be beaten. Trailer off it costs about $12 to do 100km ac on and work gear in the back weighing a few 100 kg.

They were Taxi’s over Holden Commodores for a damn good reason.
