sorry is:
in italian
in liters
in km

but 18.802,17 km made is egual at 11,683.45 miles
97.6 Km/h = 60.65 miles

more difficult is 17.8 km/ l

17.8 km/liter = 50,281606667064344229698560407222 miles/ gallon
(microsoft calculator plus ver 1.0)

okay

50 miles to the gallon!! Holy smoke, wish I got that!

More like 25 for me - I almost weep tears if I manage to get the "since" trip to go over 30 to the gallon

I wouldn't dare to challenge the MSCalculator, but I thought that:
- 1 mile equals 1.6 km
- 1 gallon equals 3.8 liters

So: 17.8 [km/l] = 17.8 / 1.6 [mi/l] = 11.13 [mi/l] = 11.13 * 3.8 [mi/gln] = 42.28 [mi/gln].

Or did I miss something?

BTW I presume it's a diesel?

Oh, and mine does 21.6 mi/gln (9.1 km/l) (2.5V6).

a US gallon is about 3.8 litres but an imperial (UK) one is about 4.5 litres....

Uk gallon is 4.54 litres.

I get about 20mpg and I consider myself lucky. I must admit as I start to do more and more miles I have to consider getting something more sensible mpg-wise. It would have to be something like a 4.2 Audi V8 Tdi twin turbo or something though and hell I can't afford that.

Just have to live with it until I win the lottery

Okay, that's where I went wrong. Sorry 'bout that. In that case, my Alfa does almost 26 mi/gln.

17.8 km/l is not surprising in the diesel. I made 20+ km/l at speeds of around 80-85 km/t average in Switzlerand in February.
However when I push it to 130-140 km/t it drops to 13 km/l.

My average on 22.500 km is 13.1 km/l, average speed I cannot remember, but I normally drive around 160 km/t on long stretches.

I will take a new measurement in Switzerland next weekend.

i live very near to Switzerland

respecting the traffic rules in CH i can make more than 20 km/l.
120 highway and sometimes in the big cities like Lucern 80 km/h.

Be very careful with the speed traps

here the list on the highways

all in German sorry

20mpg from your 'Leaf! I really must try driving below 4000rpm, i don't even want to think what mpg mines doing, i just burry my head in the sand

Not my fault Alfa build such a great sounding engine!

Here is a snapshot of my fuel consumption I took recently - 1.6TS (120hp) ... mixed driving 50% h/way - 50% massive traffic crawl. 705km on a single tank... Not bad at all!!!

my 166 is too heavy for traffic crawl
In this case the consumption fall heavly down

got ~650km from a tank with my ex-156 1.6 TS .... my current 156 2.0 JTS gets me to ~600km per tank

was at 10.4 L/100km last time I checked

2.0TS - averages 22.5 MPG. Most of that is urban. I have a heavy right foot...

A piccie of my 147 Selespeed a while ago

( I have to admit it wasn't the average consumption, but the actual consumption )

33 does 24mpg urban - 38 on a run,
164 does 17mpg - 30 on a run
156 does 25mpg urban, but I haven't a set of figures for a good run yet.
