Hey I just did the conversion on this site:http://www.convertworld.com/en/fuel_consumption/Miles+per+gallon.html
and 5,5 liter per 100 km equals to 42,77 MPG !!!!!!!!!
You petrol waisting ---daisies--- ! And believe me I do NOT drive slowly. And no it's not a miniature car.
I cruise 140 km/h (87 mph) on highways (unless there are traffic jams, which there are a lot overhere). I don't do much city driving though.
This is what a modern Turbo Diesel engine can bring you my friends. And the engine is a REAL puller ! I quickly shift through the gears, those modern turbo-diesels are VERY powerfull at low RPM's. I leave most cars behind me.
I guess, íf I'd drive more economic I'd get 53 Mpg easily.

If I could buy a diesel car here, I would. I have looked for a used Diesel VW Jetta, but they are rare in the states. Those things average in the 40's for MPG. They blow the dumbass hybrids right out of the water. Unfortunately, diesel is $1 more expensive that gasoline right now, so much of the benefit is wiped out.
Another problem with diesel is that not every gas station has diesel. If you get away from the interstate, it can get more difficult to get gas.
