Gas miles per gallon

Depends on how the car is driven, but 24 MPG may be a bit low for a typical combination of routine city/highway driving. Then again, perhaps aggressive driving with the lid off will get you down in the mid 20's. I typically get somewhere in the low 30's with my GTI with a combination of city/highway driving.

I have a 89 rabbit, which drives about 7 KM on 1 litre :-p

Ofcourse this is in europe, so we use litres and KM

hope someone is kind enough to put this into MPG :)

true true.........but that's probably due to the fact that I tuned my 1.8 i engine to about 140 HP :-p

With my previous engine (1.8 inj, engine code 92HP JH) I could drive about

Roy

Do you get better gas mileage with gallons or liters?

I don't have a clue about what you just said. I live in the Netherlands and we use KM per litre, so my mileage is 1 litre of gasoline every 7 KM

Kent recalculated that into MPG and that is 16.5 miles per gallon.

The mileage is the same, only the measurement units are different....

Roy

Nobody does.

I checked Kent's math, and on my second try, I agree with Kent. :-)

Most people in the world get better milage where you can buy it in gallons even if it does cost too much here but in Europe they sell it by the liters and its even more expensive.

Hmmm...Rufus and Strudelsmith may want to consider drinking beer by the liter rather than the gallon. ; )

The only thing I saw that made sense was that the gasoline price indeed is quite a bit higher over here... I pay about 60 euro at the gas station eacht time, and 1 litre costs 1.25 euro :'(

A full tank of gasoline gets me about 350 km far......

Roy

I'd be out 120 euro a week then? What's that like ~200 Canadian or something?

I pay $35cnd a week for ~700km with my diesel

I'm up to driving about 400 KM each week. Unfortunaly I'm still a student so I have to take the bus once in a while :-p

The EURO - CAD are almost equal to each other :D

So 60 EUR is 60.45 CAD

Roy

Let's see, at the current exchange rate, 1.25 EUR = 1.55 USD. You pay 5.87 USD per gallon (US). Highest price for premium here in the States is less than half that, or 2.70 USD per gallon (US) in Lake Tahoe, CA.

Seems kind of rediculous. Especially when you take into consideration that my mileage is 16.5 mpg :p

maybe moving to the US isn't such a bad thing after all :-D

About $1.20 IIRC.

I remember, though, when the ratio was more like 4:1 (i.e. about $1/gal in the US, vs. more than $1/liter in Europe).
