    Re: Do you have a company car?

    Must be nice for some of you euro guys driving A4s and Beamers haha If I drove one of them the customer would think I was one of them big city folks from Atlanta or Memphis.. Not very practical in some places we have to serve. Also makes you a target for getting robbed in some areas. We did have a sales rep come in from ATL in an A4 6speed manual once, it was a very slick car indeed.

    We get to drive Nissan Versas with our logo splattered on the side. Not a bad car. Not the most comfortable on long trips but tolerable. Far cry from the old beat up trucks we used to drive. We have a Toyota Tacoma with a trailer for deliveries. We get a gas card and have to pay for nothing. We don't get to drive them home. In some ways that's good because I don't have to be responsible for them all the time.

    We have 1 other vehicle which stays at the office; It's a Mercedes Sprinter turbo Diesel with a raised roof. It's used for installs.

    The caddy's are a decent car. Plenty of room in the back for parts. Can even fit a C280 without a base attached. Decent km/L (MPG for you yanks).

    But sometimes I wish we had something sportier to drive. Like that blue commodore earlier. Or even the Audi A4 that someone mentioned. That'd turn heads and get our brand noticed wouldn't it?
    I suppose I could google it, but I would rather ask you. what are you guys down under paying for diesel? we pay $3.75 - $4.00 a gallon in our indiana area.

    Down Under, we pay anywhere from $AU 1.50 - $AU 1.60 a Litre (3.79 US Gallons) for Diesel.

    It can vary quite wildly depending on Service Station ownership (Caltex, Choice Petroleum, Shell, BP etc) and location. I find most Servo's on the highway are slightly cheaper than ones in town. But it varies from city to city as well.

    Phrag, I think you have the decimal point in the wrong place;

    1L = 0.26417US gal lqd

    His number was right. His measure was wrong. 1gal = 3.785544 L or around 3.79.

    Well I changed employers at the end of june, and my new employer just hooked me up with a company ride. Not to bad either, they take care of it and I drive it. Will miss the travel expense checks though !!!!!

    Mrs Lagonda and I are on holiday in Wurzburg Germany at the moment and I just saw KM tech drive by in a BMW wagon. Going to make my Mazda look rather sad when I get back home.
    At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.
