I am Canadian where we purchase gasoline by the liter (close to a quart)
which is an idea that I am not proud of but that's Government for ya!
Currently we are paying $1.31 per liter for Premium with an octane rating of
only 93. At 4.5460 liters per Imperial Gallon that comes to $5.96 per
Imperial Gallon.
I have an American Volvo so the odometer reads in Miles. Currently it has
112,000 miles on the clock and is a 94 940 turbo wagon with an automatic non
lock-up transmission.
Been keeping a track on the mileage lately and the current results over the
past 10 weeks are a low of 19.63 MPG city and a high of 29.86 MPG Highway
averaging 55 to 60 MPH on the highway.(no air conditioning and I do have
roof racks).
Please note that figures are based upon an Imperial Gallon, the unit by
which we use to purchase gasoline before the Government had a Vasectomy.
According to some of the posts here I am doing quite well but I still wish I
could do just a little better. I wonder if some of the folks here who are
not doing so well with their gas mileage are leaving their ventilation
selector set to defrost all the time where the air conditioning is on by
default or are driving down the highway with their windows open (excess
drag).
