what? Even my parents 6 Seater family car drank only 8l back in the day, I drive my Opel Astra with about 7 and my brothers little fiat drinks 4,5 if he drives efficiently. You gotts have either s pickup truck or something really old.

What? A pickup uses 15-28 l/100km.

A Silverado uses 15MPG, according to GM themselves. That's like 16l/100km

Yeah pickups and SUVs are gas guzzlers. i get about 5.5L/100km with my Honda Fit

Ya I don't know why I'm being down voted for saying what my cars get. Never said anything better didn't exist, just asked which other cars get less.

I fucking hate Lemmy. I asked a question and I'm downvoted. Fuck this place. There's no way to have a god damn discussion here.

People probably misread the intended question as denial of lower consumptions cars existing. The interwebs are fickle

A Polo 3-cylinder runs at around 5.5l/100km mixed city/interstate. 16l is atrocius

I've never seen a 3 cylinder vehicle in my life lol.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Remember The Ford Fiesta, or was it the Firefly?? Iforget the name but that was a 3 cylinder.

[–] onion@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

Still is. Focus, C-Max, B-Max, Fiesta, EcoSport, Mondeo, Transit and Puma are the models listed on Wikipedia available with a three cylinder

You propably did but never noticed.

It's a 1l 75hp engine, topping out at 175km/h or 108mph. Perfect for a commuter car
