    I’d love to know which cars you drive with 5-6 l/100km lol

    My best vehicle is 10. My worst is 28. Unless you’re a hybrid, I don’t know of a single vehicle doing 5-6l/100km

      Our Honda Fit does about 5.5L/100km if I drive and about 7.5L/100km if my wife drives. I have had it as low as 3.9 But that was purposely watching acceleration and avoiding hills

      I’ve had Opel, Renault, Peugeot, VW, Skoda, Mazda, Suzuki.

      None of them were worse than 7 L/100km. Pretty much all modern cars go at 5 L/100km unless you get something with a larger engine.

      Never had a hybrid.

        Pretty much none of those brands exist in Canada, or are extremely uncommon. Not to mention the cold weather makes our fuel economy even worse.

          All these brands exist in northern Europe, they work fine here. My 2007 VW Golf does about 6-7l per 100km. They aren’t unusual numbers really

        What? A pickup uses 15-28 l/100km.

        A Silverado uses 15MPG, according to GM themselves. That’s like 16l/100km

          A Polo 3-cylinder runs at around 5.5l/100km mixed city/interstate. 16l is atrocius

            Ya I don’t know why I’m being down voted for saying what my cars get. Never said anything better didn’t exist, just asked which other cars get less.

            I fucking hate Lemmy. I asked a question and I’m downvoted. Fuck this place. There’s no way to have a god damn discussion here.

              People probably misread the intended question as denial of lower consumptions cars existing. The interwebs are fickle
