They don't like water and as said fuel consumption is abysmal.

I used the 90 everyday to get to work during the snow and was filing up every day won't do that again in a hurry. I'm now researching lpg conversions kits, pro & cons.

I'm lucky really,as it's only a toy. Mind you my daily drive is also a V8,but that actually manages 16mpg......LOL
