never seen a car do such good fuel economy

lowest I have seen is 5.98l/100km not 3.148l/100km wonder how they do it

Yoh I would love that efficiency.. Would save sooooo much money on petrol... At the moment I get about 7-9 per 100... Stupid traffic...

That figure looks suspiciously low to me. Were they going downhill most of the way?

That's really good. They're making nice Hybrid cars now.
Side note, I'm getting a little Kia Picanto that says on the brochure that it gets about 5l/100km.

Using a Hybrid car is like cheating

To be honest, you'll never get that!

At most you'll get 6.6 - 8.4.

Ya, I think they measure that on a constant 100km/h, perfect conditions, etc, but it's still pretty light

220KM!?

How small is your tank/how big is your engine?

I get 550 approx on my Corsa Sport 1.4

Hmmm....never trust a Ozzie.

Ahhh darn, and here I thought my combined cycle of 10l per 100km was good
