I pay 0.9 Eur per litre, so roughly 5 Euros for that hundred kilometers. You figure out how many pounds that is. :)

I meant what that in MPG? What that in old money is an idiom for 'Please turn that metric rubbish into imperial units that we all understand' (I know this only applies to the British!) I know an Acre is a furlong by a chain, I don't know what a hectare is.

We have a Prius, so it's about 1000 klm to a 50 litre tank. Which is 5 litres, obviously.

I can eke out near enough 550 miles from a 45 litre tank.(assuming I put 50 litres in)(which can be done if you 'spout' it.) And I didn't have to ruin the environment by buying a prius.

Funny how British you are with your spelling yet use Twain (an American and, therefore, in your terms, a corruptor of the King's English) as your sig. Very amusing. I now spell colour as color because of Microsoft. Does that make me a bad person?

How many gas liters litres does your car need to drive 100km? Or for the US crowd, what mpg do you get from your car?

Very few bother to find the actual mileage of their cars in this country. A full tank of 80 litres keeps me going for at least a week, sometimes more. How much does petrol cost in your respective countries? Where I live currently (UAE) it's around US $ 2.79 a gallon. I am sure is at least 80 cents more than the average price in the US. Gasoline costs more in most oil producing countries than in the US. The only difference is the propensity to grumble ;)

In Venezuela it is about 5 US Cents a litre. Here (UK) it is $1 or so.

Is that somehow related to the volume of a stone of water at an arbitrary temperature? :rolleyes:

Hmmm difficult Question. I don't know what a liter is. My MPG I do know, but I am not one of the US Crowd. Here in UK I can get about 50 to the gallon if it is all motorway at reasonable speed. Around town I drop to about 25-30. This is in a 2.0 Litre Injection Peugeot 206CC [Mod] My Old Jag XJS V12 6.0 Litre managed about 4 to the gallon in town, which is why I got rid of it. A car with two engines is expensive when petrol hit £1.20 a litre!

Thats a British gallon (approximate 1/3rd larger volume than the American gallon.), correct? (Another case of two countries separated by a common language.)

Don't you fill your car just by digging a hole in the ground and wait for it to fill up?

I drive a Ford Ranger. I get 27 MPG on the (2-lane) highway and that's about 90% of my driving. (8.7 liters/100 km) I last paid $1.39 @ US gallon (1 euro @ 3.8 liters or approximately 1 pound per imperial gallon), but it's probably dropped a cent or two since Monday.
