are you going to do the engine work if something goes wrong?

or are you going to HOPE that someone knows about your engine whenever you break down in the middle of now-here?

quality diesel is probably much, much easier to source around the world and may be cheaper... plus it gets alot better MPG than a gas engine.

bring lots and lots of oil filters, air filters and fuel filters whatever you choose...


if you need more power than a 3fe with automatic trans, then switch to a 2f with a 4 speed...

i also second the notion that in most places you will not be going as fast as you would like or hope. people have different definitions of what "roads" are.

i think the above link says it all: thoses folks have a Guiness World Record for most countries visited with one vehicle, most kilometers, etc!
