I am leaving next week for Eldorado,the other side of Wangaratta,to do a bit of panning for gold, for five days with my wife.And being a pensioner,I was wondering how do I save on fuel for the 400 kl.I need to travel,so I came up with the idea to make a fuel saver for the car,I went to my local sheet metal worker and have him make up a sheet of Gal 1.1. mtr by 1/2 a mtr.and got a roof rack off EBay,and set to work and building it. Below is the result and I am happy so far, just have find out how much fuel I will save for the round trip of 800 kl. Regards Peter

G'day Highway, I'm predicting that on Day 3 of your prospecting, you will discover a nugget that puts the Hand of Faith to shame. Your concerns about fuel economy will suddenly be of little significance. Your biggest problem will be what to do with the car and Coronet when you fly home in your private Lear jet. ;D ;D Don't those wind deflectors have to be positioned near the rear of the car roof to have the biggest effect?? Watch out for teenagers with skateboards, too! Soon as they see any sort of ramp... Have a great time away! cheers, Al.
