What? A pickup uses 15-28 l/100km.

A Silverado uses 15MPG, according to GM themselves. That's like 16l/100km

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'd love to know which cars you drive with 5-6 l/100km

Could be an inquiry, could be a statement of disbelief. Up to interpretation.

I'd love to know which cars you drive with 5-6 l/100km lol

The "lol" at the end makes it read like your accusing the other commenter of lying and that you think this is an impossible to reach fuel consumption.

Additionally, many people don't like huge pickup trucks and worshippers thereof. You might have slipped into that category in their understanding.

A Polo 3-cylinder runs at around 5.5l/100km mixed city/interstate. 16l is atrocius

I've never seen a 3 cylinder vehicle in my life lol.

Remember The Ford Fiesta, or was it the Firefly?? Iforget the name but that was a 3 cylinder.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Still is. Focus, C-Max, B-Max, Fiesta, EcoSport, Mondeo, Transit and Puma are the models listed on Wikipedia available with a three cylinder

You propably did but never noticed.

It's a 1l 75hp engine, topping out at 175km/h or 108mph. Perfect for a commuter car
