Post by: Ripsnort on September 13, 2001, 10:37:00 AM: Beginning tomorrow:

28 MPG, round trip daily is 34 miles.(do the conversion yourself, I'm tired...)

Comes out to 6 gallons a week, or, at current gasoline prices in the US, about 9 dollars a week.

Post by: pugg666 on September 13, 2001, 11:00:00 AM: 91 accord 5 speed 218000 klicks on the odo.

i get about 10L/100KM mixed driving,and i'm a little heavy on the accelerator :)

so about 550 KM out of a 55 litre tank
lasts me just about 2 weeks at about 25-35$ per fill up

btw current price on gas in montreal is about 75 cents a litre. but the price varies wildly, during the last month it has gone as low as 63 cents to as high as 89 cents for regular/87 octane.

Post by: SageFIN on September 13, 2001, 12:16:00 PM: Nissan Micra 97 1.0

Average consumption has always been almost exactly 6 liters per 100 km. I would consider that economic and better be, with the price of gas in Finland.

Post by: Maverick on September 13, 2001, 01:32:00 PM: Truck 1 16 to 17 MPG
Car 1 35 to 38 MPG
motorcycle 40 to 44 MPG
1958 Comanche 16 to 17 MPG @ 120 to 130 knots.

To be honest, the Comanche is the most fun but ya really can't commute to work in a plane often. :)

Post by: miko2d on September 13, 2001, 05:45:00 PM: My new Subary is about 25-28 mpg. Also I've kept the old 95' Civic for small trips - it gets over 30 mpg.

Also my thermostats are set to 60F in the winter (55 when the house is empty).

No reason to waste natural resources and enrich undemocratic hostile regimes.

I dunno, 25 mpg? I have to race envious BMW drivers that are bald and need to justify $500/month lost 401K funds on their car, so maybe 23 mpg in super race mode. :)

Post by: klem on September 15, 2001, 06:41:00 PM: Vauxhall Cavalier 1.8i

36mpg

Reasonably as much as I can afford here.

Probably easily affordable if I lived in US.

More than I could afford in a few other countries.

Now tell me there is no political point to this because I shall be pissed off if there is. Or I shall apologise. Been a long day.

Post by: Hangtime on September 16, 2001, 02:06:00 PM: A tired old 1990 Jeep Cherokee. Made in Canada. fediddlein Canucks musta done something right, never had any car as long as I've had that 'ol Jeep.

174k on the odo.

6 miles to work. 30 to my womans house, 174 to my kids school.

I should note that I have suddenly become unwilling to buy gasoline from any station that has 'forieners' in attendance.

Same goes for convienience stores.

It's a knee-jerk reation; undoubtably rife with racisim and fear.

diddly it; it's just how I feel right now... but what's goin thru my mind is "Is this guy a terrorist supporter?? Who does he send money too?" as well as more unkind and very unprintable thoughts.

*sigh* I dunno... but untill I know for sure who's side 'ol Habib is on down at the mini-mart; my buisness goes eleswhere.
