Your dash should tell you.

My Skoda was doing 5.5-6.0 lt/100km around town, 1.4lt turbo. Highway under 5.0l/100.

My Outback, 2.5lt normally aspirated gets around 6.6-7.2l/100kms. On the highway, around 5.5-6.0l/100kms.

Shit, do you drive up and down your driveway?

Mine hovers around 7.4, I try and reset it to driver more reserved but it doesn't last long, I can get it down to 6 but buses end up taking off faster than me.

2 out of three cars i do, cos the dash tells me.

13.5 around town in the Jeep, less on the open road, much more when we are towing the camper. it has the aerodynamics of my house though

5 ish in the fiesta, less on the open road. its gotten worse over time though. when it was new it used 4 ish around town. one weekend drove to whyalla and back on a single tank

the chevy? no idea. i put petrol in it when it needs it, and ignore the numbers on the pump, lol. (and yes it needs it pretty much every time i drive it...)

That's only 3 steps away from your joint isn't it?

Given where the entrance is, it's probably quicker to walk there than drive hey?

Don't even think about it! My odo isn't accurate but suggest that I'd get around 25-30lt per 100km.

Pretty close. It shuttle runs from home to the footy/cricket club and back, normally in a hurry cos I'm always running late. :-)
