Default NZ Energywise rally

Not a very good variety especially from Ford but again proving what a crock Hybrids are, before taking into account their hiked up purchase costs.
It needs mentioning, that the placing is judged on the overall cost of the trip, and in NZ diesels are taxed per km, so that put the Mini diesel behind the Honda Hybrid. They just needed the Skoda Fabia TDi and Fiesta Econetic which would have given the hybrids a good hiding.

Currently light diesels are taxxed $0.04 per km, which makes my Peugeot 406 HDi more expensive to run than my EF coon, or any 4.0 Falcon I've owned, even though it gets 1200km per tank
