The mate that I bought the RTV from had 4 Utes that were all set up the same and he originally sold me his oldest 2 Utes, my RTV and the XLS that I originally drove then sold. His other 2 RTV utes were on LPG ( dedicated LPG not dual fuel) and he did offer one of the LPG Utes to me at the time but I couldn't afford the 3 at the time. He advised me that the LPG ones were a lot cheaper to run and would probably suit me better as my work car. I was skeptical because the range was only about 400ks on a tank and the engine produces 156kw instead of 182kw. It turns out I am only getting about 500ks out of a tank in my petrol/gas RTV anyway. I had told my mate if he ever wants to get rid of his last ute to let me know. As I really like my RTV and I don't intend to change from this style of vehicle I was always thinking about a spare vehicle for parts. This one has about 100K klms less than my one which is a three year older ute but it has had a really hard life. The price was right so I couldn't say no. :yes:
