  Agreed.

  Maybe you should try your luck in the July photos thread. Last time I asked for 53/58 citaro pics here, nobody replied. When I asked in the photos thread, I got and answer straight away.

  As i said earlier,no point telling this to certain ppl.haha.They just wont get it no matter even if u tell it a million times to them. =.=

  Trivia of Citaro with Voith gearbox, info taken directly from dashboard of SBS6003D: Kick down with engine rpm dragged to near redline, 98L/km. At cruising speed of 65km/h, 35L/km. Hmm big difference. Haha. And also, it was on 138 at point of trip, kick down all the from AMK till Zoo. Imagine the amount of fuel used. Hmm.
