    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.)

        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 ;)

        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.

                            100km? I'd say a pizza, two apples. Amount of gas depends on toppings, Engine should be rinsed with a beer or two afterwards. (yeah, you guessed it, just a bicycle)

                                        Why are you asking this here? The Lounge would be acceptable IMO. Unless the gas price has become some religious agenda!

                                          Ahh, I get it, when my tank cost about a 1/3 less than normal, I said, "HOLY JEEBAS!" :)
