What kilometerage does your car get?

[Buffy]

Oh gosh. I'm gonna *try* not to be Amerocentric here, so you folks in the US are just gonna have to put up with the conversions....

 

SO, how fuel efficient is *your* car/truck/motored vehicle?

 

Is fuel efficiency really what we need most desperately? I say that what we really need is a car that can be shot when it breaks down, :)

That make more sense to me every day, I am getting ready to drive to Chapel Hill NC to see if i can figure out why my son's car won't start. He generally only uses it to visit his girls friend or to come home on break. But like most young boys he has to have a car! If he has allowed it to screw up big time he will be riding the bus, god how I hate to work on cars! UNC is a big campus I guess, I indulge my children way too much!

I have no choice but to drive a Ford E-150 EconoVan.

10 years ago, it was the only vehicle that one could install a wheelchair lift in that would handle the heavier power chairs. It's ten years old but only has 66,000 miles. I baby it because if that buggy fails, I lose my job, my house, my everything. It gets 12 or 13 MPG out on the open road, but to work and back, it's prolly more like 10 MPG. Drives and rides like a log wagon.

If my car gets 24MPG, should I vote for the 19-24 range or 24-33? :phones:

:shrug:

 

I think 24 m/g = 10.20 km/l so I'd go with 10-14 km/l :phones:

13 mpg (combined).

Yes, we would be better off without cars at all.

However, modern society has been built around (at least in the USA) the convinience of them.

And while some people can use cars that get good gas mileage, others do NEED to have larger vehicles capable of towing/hauling/etc.

My 2010 Dodge Challenger SE (3.5 liter V-6, not one of the monster hemi's) gets around 20 mpg around town and about 26 mpg on the highway. I looked at a bunch of smaller more economical cars, including the Toyota Prius, that were more practical, but finally decided that since I am 50 and we have no children to shlep around, I was going to buy what I WANTED, not what I NEEDED. I have been ecstatic for the last 13 months. :D
