Fuel Economy

<p>My car uses 10.5 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers.</p>

<p>How efficient is your car?</p>

<p>Not very, seeing as I don’t have one.</p>

<p>What fuel economy would your car have, if you were to have one?</p>

<p>i get around 12mpg city, 28 highway</p>

<p>My car would use around 12.5 l/100km.</p>

<p>Well, I guess my car is more fuel efficient.</p>

<p>My car would get better mileage if I were to drive it more. Now that I bike to work, my car is parked for all but about a half hour a week. The family car has freakishly good fuel economy for a gas engine car with an automatic transmission. It uses about 6.8 L/100 km.</p>

<p>I get like 30 mpg. I refuse to conform to the metric system.* <em>breaks into USA chant</em>*</p>

agreed, i have no idea what a liter/km equates to, and have no desire to figure it out.</p>

<p>According to Google’s amazing calculator 10.5 liters per 100 kilometers is ~22mpg. My car is somewhere around 25mpg, I think (practically only city driving).</p>

<p>I wondered if anyone would have the ambition to figure it out.</p>

<p>In my spare nerd time, I’ve devised a formula. Well, sort of a formula.</p>

<p>Take the number in miles per gallon, multiply it by .004228, and take the reciprocal. It’s approximate.</p>

<p>I wish the US used the metric system. :(</p>

<p>Eh, I would wish it too, but then I’d have to learn all these new units. And I wouldn’t be very happy.</p>

<p>You already know all of the units. The only problem is visualizing them. But I suppose that would come after using them for a while.</p>

<p>35 miles per gallon ish.</p>

<p>+35 mpg. go dinky 2002 saturn!!</p>

<p>35 mpg is about 6.8 L / 100 km. Resume.</p>
