Gas [modified]

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?
Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

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?

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)

I get about 400-450km from 60-65 liters ~ 14.5l/100km, 3.2liter V6 (short hops, I drive like there will be no gas tomorrow).

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

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.
