For those driving Diesel?
I've owned petrol cars, never a diesel. Always wanted a Hilux and got my opportunity recently to pick up a 2022 Hilux SR Hi-Rider Manual 4x2 for a great price at 32k with 80k kms and full logbook history. It's a diesel.
Thought, why not. It's been a dream car of mine for a while. Until I filled up from half a tank for $108 for 38L.
I'll be using it for small renos around the house, carrying the dogs on the back and some camping trips every two months or so.
I love it so far but it sucks that I had to have gotten a dream car of mine at a time when diesel is expensive.. I want to keep this car forever!
For those that have diesel utes or cars, are you still thinking if keeping it or selling anytime soon?
We have another 2013 Toyota Corolla for when we need a small car in the city or tight carparks, but it'l get replaced with an EV or Hybrid soon.
Edit: For the past two weeks of owning my Hilux I've gotten 8.5L/100km over 600km driving. Our Corolla does 7.1L/100km, so it's not far off! I love driving it and I think from what everyone is saying, you all love driving your rigs and cars too. That's what matters in the end :)
