Cheers Jim - that seems really good - I'm only getting 20 from my MR2
Turbo - and they seem good value for money at around £5k - £7k

It's even better if you assume that the 26mpg is US mpg (due to the poster
having a US ComCast IP address) - that means more like 30 mpg imperial (here
in the UK) :)

I'm not sure that my own car is going to be a useful comparison, but my '93
320i saloon is doing around 25 mpg (UK) in city driving (which means 3 miles
to work and back on A roads in the outskirts of Birmingham with a bunch of
roundabouts and a lot of gear shifting, and max speed of 30 - 35 mph), and
around 35-40 mpg on the motorway at 70mph.

Regarding roads, the US mile *is* the Imperial Mile, which in turn *is*
the International Mile. So the British and American values are the same.
This mile does, however, differ from the US Survey Mile, which is precisely
3 millimeters longer -- hardly a major difference.

I think the previous poster meant that the US *gallon* is smaller than
the UK (imperial) gallon. Consequently, on a single gallon you'd go
farther in the UK than in the US.

I didn't think I'd have to explain that 1 US gallon = 0.833 Imperial gallon.

You're absolutely right. I just had a major brain fart and failed to
recognize the obvious. Duh! :)

In that spirit, and just for grins, here's a puzzle.

A pig weighs 30lb plus half its weight. How much does the pig weigh?
