Hmmm so i got somewhere around 500km on about 67L so my guesstimate go's.

I kinda randomly figured this all out in my had and worked it out to about 21mpg. But by the time i finished i was so confused and now my head hurts and i don't even know how i really worked that out.

Anyone else wanna help me out and confirm this one way or another?

ex everything

figure out km per litre

500 divided by 67

500/67=7.46 km/litre

multiply by 4.54 (4.54 litres per Imperial gallon)
3.8 (3.8 litres per US gallon)

7.46*4.54=33.87 km/gallon


divide by 1.6 ( 1 mile in 1.6 km or on the speedo
100 miles/hour = 160 km/hours exactly!)

33.87/1.6 = 21.17 miles/gallon.

3.8 litres is an american gallon - 4.54 is an Imperial gallon (what Canada used to use! )

I had pointed this out in the initial post.

Milk is sold by the gallon here (3.78L in the jug)... why would they sell 4.54L as being one gallon?

It's an age thing - one thing for sure - the older guys are going to get better gas mileage.

litres per 100 km anyone?
