I didn't know the sedans now have a 55 litre tank. May 2010 GS Sedan definitely has a 50. Still impressive to get 51 litres into it though. Fuel pump must be cavitating by the time he hits the station.Quote:

I mean do you really think two nearly identical or identical cars could vary by 25% in fuel consumption? Admittedly I drive mostly around Hamilton/Niagara where the freeway isn't always stop & go.
interesting, i always thought mine was a 50L tank. but on page 10-5 of the manual it says for the 2.0L it has a 55L tank and anything but the 2.0L has a 60L tank. and all this time i thought it was a 50L. :P
My best was 7.3 on a trip to the states. I was going pretty fast on the highway though (120-130ish). http://www.fuelly.com/driver/ptmfr/3-4Quote:

BTW, just filled up and last tank was 7.0L/100km! Oh yeah!!! :headbang

You generally have a 10L reserve meaning when your fuel light goes on that means you have about 10L of fuel left. So after the light goes on try not to drive more than 50 km or you will risk running out of gas.

that would be ultra 94 i believe. cant believe that they say the price of regular is going to hit 1.5 by summer. :(Quote:

its crazy how much this is going up. i saw at esso yesterday we pay the 13 % hst, 10 cents/L federal tax and 14.6 cents gas tax.. lol and i remember once they put HST together gas went up 10 centrs right away.. crazy to think if we didnt pay the gas tax or a federal tax and if gst and pst was still around gas could be around 1.04.. miss those days. i put 91 in my car ( do it every so often to give it a clean out ) and 94 in my gfs as i havent done it in ages. and it cost me $68 on her car and $70 on mine. :( hard to think thats what we will all be paying for regular soon..Quote:

Diesel has been about the price of premium in Alberta the past 5 years.Quote:

Kind of.. do you mean like Germany with their 'greening' of the downtown core?
I was under the impression we want to solve the crisis while still HAVING cars that are drivable and fun. Or am I missing something?
As a side note;
