36/ imperial gallon is 30/ US gallon.
But given the specs, a hypermiler could probably get 36 US hehe. |

It wasn't tested, so no no worries mate. I don't know what source give that time for the magazines, cos Toyota Europe says 6.9s to 0-100 km/h... But honestly i don't care about 0-100 km/h times.

Speedo are generally off by a bit and most 0-60 testing is done with GPS equipment. However I would like to see a video a cereal there says they might have to hit the limiter to get it all done in 2

Wow... does 59.5 vs 60 mph mean such a big deal?
