Fuel usage

[monte.b]

I usually drive my falcon ute however over the weekend i had to drive down the sunny coast so i thought id use my daughters nissan tida ,now we had 4 people in the car and as it was raining had the aircon engaged most of the time on the demister ,the little bludger of a thing used 10 ltrs per 100klm ,thats worse than i get with my ute ,it usually gets about 9 on a good run ,my question is are these fuel figures used to sell these little 4 cylinder cars taken with just one person in the car or no people in the car ,seems to me if you want to transport 4 people and a bit of luggage it would run out cheaper and a bloody lot more comfortable to run a falcon ,makes you wonder thats for sure
