Reminds me of an app I downloaded the other day to help plan routes. They asked for my cars “KPL”.
Like what? Who in the world says KPL? It’s l/100KM.
While I’m aware that some places may use KPL, it just seems very American to go “hey, we use MPG, so they must use KPL”.
I grew up with km/L.
I don’t mind using whatever scale, but it’s somewhat better for comparing the numbers that cars actually use, because with l/100km every car is five something or six something.
Also the higher numbers are better like everything else on the car comparison cards.
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? Even my parents 6 Seater family car drank only 8l back in the day, I drive my Opel Astra with about 7 and my brothers little fiat drinks 4,5 if he drives efficiently. You gotts have either s pickup truck or something really old.
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
Yeah pickups and SUVs are gas guzzlers. i get about 5.5L/100km with my Honda Fit
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
I prefer to measure speed in football fields per minute.
You make dem der figures FPH n’ you got a deal. I don’t wanna be going no 600 yards a minute. I wanna be cruisin at 35000 yard and hour, ya hur?
A mile is about 15 football fields, so if we did switch to using that measurement, we could all be going 1,000 on the freeway.
Ur gotdang right. My Mopar might be a four banger, but with cheezus behind the wheel we’re gon’ near 1700 n’ gettin 500 a gallon.
