Passed a gas station today and notice petrol (gas) was 1.43 GBP per litre. :gasp:

If one assumes ones car does 40 mpg (imperial) that works out at over 25c per mile.  :hmm:

The poll is in small* gallons rather the proper gallons.


All of the vehicles I've driven, other than works ones, have returned between 25 and 45 mpg (21 to 38 in us gallons )





* 1 imperial gallon equals about 1.2 US gallons

My car is 29 highway, 21 city.  I guess 25 would be a good guess for overall, and that's the official combined number as well.

Atrocious. Around 20 in the city, 25ish on highway. I've been able to push it up to around 30-32 but that means not going above 100-110km/h and certainly no passing.

Post by: MadBurgerMaker on June 30, 2011, 04:02:34 PM
Eh....I get about 20mpg average per tank, with most of it being in the city.  I'd guess ~18 or so in the city, ~26 on the highway.

I get around 45 highway and 40 city on average. Although I wish I bought a Prius instead of an Insight.

Really? I have an '08 Ford Focus and it get's about what it was rated.
A lot does depend on how it's driven - AC, heavy traffic and bad driving habits can all drop it like a stone.

Plymouth never made a 350 cid in the 60's or 70's. 1976 would have been a 318 or 360
