Hi Slammin, I suppose thats one more reason in a long list, to spring for the extra cost and get a DIESEL. Once you go 'black', you'll never go back. Michael

Guess that's why I'm lucky my petrol has a range of 1300kms.:)

Love the bush.

This is no real secret, the Community Councils have been concerned for a long time about petrol sniffing & no doubt have decided that the lives of their kids over rules commercial interests.

From my Central Australian sources: expect to see a lot more of this type of thing in other areas.

There was an Aboriginal kid near where I live badly burnt the other day sniffing petrol & smoking at the same time, he was seven.

Sad, sad :-(
