pugman Champion Author St. Louis Posts:5,362 Points:904,950 Joined:Jul 2005	Message Posted: Jan 23, 2009 9:34:48 AM Ignore pugman Report Abuse No since none of the gas cars are even near the fuel mileage that my current daily driver is getting except maybe a Hybrid but that is about the same mileage. My current daily driver is averaging about 51+mpg combined so why change?

rjr54 Champion Author Winnipeg Posts:1,115 Points:395,370 Joined:Feb 2005	Message Posted: Aug 9, 2008 9:40:23 AM Ignore rjr54 Report Abuse I would not trade . . . actually I really cannot trade up much as far as fuel efficiency goes. I am currently getting 5L/100Km on highway and 6L/100Km in the city. If I upgraded to a Prius I could do a little better in the city but no better on the highway. The options in North America are very few. If it was available here I would trade up to a really fuel efficient car like a Loremo, 1.5 L/100Km. P.S. 5L/100Km = 47 mi/gal USA; 6L/100Km = 39 mi/gal USA; 1.5L/100Km = 150 mi/gal USA

We are almost there and from what I see that's available, I will have to keep my current vehicle.
