Proudly South African

Postby ZS-NEL » Fri Aug 22, 2008 3:46 pm

A recent study conducted by Wits University found that the average South African walks about 1200 kms a year.
Another study by the South African Medical Association found that South Africans drink, on average, 100 litres of alcohol a year. (^^)
This means, on average, South Africans get about 12 kms to the litre.

Kind of makes you proud to be South African. vhpy

You can also set the jet, and decarb the exhaust, an that might give you more meter per ml. (^^)

The problem is CAA will only accept it if a rubber gloved AP does the exhaust inspection :shock:

Yeah I think my power to weight ratio is a little different to the average south african, requiring a "slightly" heavier consumption. (^^) (^^) (^^)
