This makes me wonder, how much does gas or diesel fuel cost in the US (or other parts of the world) these days? Today the price for diesel fuel is around 1.20 euros per litre here in Finland. That translates to roughly 6.72 USD per gallon. 95 octane gas is about 1.40 euros per litre. And then we pay additional tax for diesel engine vehicles. I have Landrover Disco II Td5 which uses over 10 litres of diesel for 100km drive... Regarding the tyres, here about 80% of the cars use studded winter tyres (instead of only friction based M+S). It's a huge difference in performance (studs vs. friction) when the roads are flat planes of ice ;-). BTW to get back to the topic: Yet another example how companies alienate themselves from their customers. I would have thought the calendar (or any other such publication by a loyal customer group) would have been thought as free (and positive) marketing to the manufacturer. They should have volunteered to pay part or all of the publication costs instead of whine about copyrights or such.
