And I bet if you went out to a flat smooth windless road and put it in 6th gear at 60 mph you'd get 32+ mpg, and if you drove across San Francisco uphill in rush hour traffic you'd be lucky to get 19 mpg.

6 l/100km = 39 mpg US gallons (the size gallon that the US use) 6 l/100km = 47 mpg Imperial gallons (the size gallon we use) Not only do they not use metric there they change the size of the Imperial measurements that the rest of the world uses.

No you are just too young to have experienced the chaos that was the transition from Imperial to metric measurements here. The US variation on the gallon threw a monkey wrench into everything. Now pretty much any time somebody refers to a gallon they mean the US one. Hum was just yanking your chain.

However, I reckon the average American couldn't quite grasp the concept of a logical system of measurement ....... so, the idea was dropped ...... humfrz |

Normal 23 mpg commutes? How do you get such bad fuel economy on an 80% highway commute? Are you cruising at triple digit speeds ? lol.
I average 31 mpg not even trying if i work early and leave early (beating rush hour) and 30 if the traffic is terrible. 90% highway but i cross a bridge and it can be crappy if i work during rush hour. This is with cruising at 75-80... redlining it once or twice a day when I can (dont often have room enough). The previous owner had averaged 24 mpg according to my trip odometer (reset after i changed oil) so they must have had a lot of stop and go and beat the crap out of the car! If im just in chill mode i will be out of first at 10 mph and in 5th by 40 mph (if perfectly flat the car can manage that in 6th ok). Traffic sometimes kills your "need for speed" so to speak. I think if you cruise at 65 you could easily crack 35 mpg. |

Right when the light comes on in our cars we have somewhere between 2-3 gallons left in the tank. I've run it like 50 miles with the fuel light, rolled into a gas station, and only put 12ish gallons in it or so.

Most I've ever been able to do is 31MPG once... my average is 21.9MPG with 75% city driving in the cars lifetime per fuelly...
Most I've gotten out of a tank is 334 miles, filling it up 11.78 gallons |
