I don't mind using whatever scale, but it's somewhat better for comparing the numbers that cars actually use, because with l/100km every car is five something or six something.

Also the higher numbers are better like everything else on the car comparison cards.

I'd love to know which cars you drive with 5-6 l/100km lol

My best vehicle is 10. My worst is 28. Unless you're a hybrid, I don't know of a single vehicle doing 5-6l/100km

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

[–] KrummsHairyBalls@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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
