Phase 2 In The Grand Green Earth Plan

Date: 4/9/2007

After a successful Phase 1 of the Grand Green Earth Plan for my house hold. Phase 2 went into effect last week with the purchase of green(er) family transport:

We are with you.

For those who care about numbers, and it does all come down to numbers, here they are:

Phase 1, Secondary vehicle: 17lt/100km (13.8MPG) -> 3.7lt/100km (63.5MPG).
Phase 2, Primary vehicle: 14.5lt/100km (16.2MPG) -> 7.8lt/100km (30.1MPG).

It's not as good as I was hoping but when budget, size, drivability, features and safety collide it's always going to get messy. I really like that we have 4 air bags now as well as the improved economy. I've seen a few trucks run reds and the messy aftermath... and I for one want a little bit more between me, my family and the truck's bull bar.

Phase 3 perhaps...?
