I just wanted to let you know that if you were to fill an emty Syncro tank (70l), with 98 octane gas, like I have to, you would have to spit out $85,63! with a liter price of 9,15 nkr, that is a whopping $1,22 per liter!, or Cdn$ 1,86 per liter. Diesel is about 7,50 nkr or $1,00 Cdn$ 1,53. With the highest gas prices in Europe, I must be crazy to drive a thirsty car as this. (average 15l/100km) PerL 88 Syncro "Robert A.
