I actually like the new govt consumption rules where they state the hwy and city use. Its much more practical.
Did you know a smart for2 uses over 8 litres per hundred at 100! and yet around town it can use 3 or 4?!!
So make sure you laugh at one if you see one on the highway!!
And yet a new FG can use less on the hwy. Then more in town obviously...
Now if you were only doing country driving which would you choose?
Most small cars use around 7 or 8 on the hwy. No better than a falcon.
I drive a new Hyundai Elantra that does this. I have driven new corollas that do too.
And yet a falcon does just as well.
It all depends on the driving you do.
City cars for city people, if you do longer commutes like geelong to melbourne, a small car is of no help.
