        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?

          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 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.

                                  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 ;)

                                    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 don't do much highway (Motorway fukc) driving as I only live 6 miles from work. Presently I only get 24.3 mpg (29.1 mpg fukc). So I'd need 9.7L. But I only need to fill up every fortnight (two weeks fnukc). When I used to commute mostly on the highway, I'd get about 30mpg (36mpg fukc).

                                      About 50-ish MPG? It's about that, 'cause I just worked out my average (around town and stuff) to about 10.5l/100km (27mpg), which is about as good as a 2.0l turbo petrol engine is going to get! Especially with the weight of my right foot...

                                        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?

                                        As I have said in the past, my pick-em up truck has a huge mpg, since it burns emulsified clubbed baby seals. It also has a low CO2 foot print.
