Apparently my sister would often scream all night until she was taken for a car ride. We were poor, too, so gas was precious even back then. Remember--our cars got under 20mpg. It added up quickly.
20mpg is 11,7 l/100km which is double that of a "normal" car
I assume that’s a US mpg to L/100km it looks more generous than my average 12.7L/100 on a VR6 VAG engine, it’s doing about 22 UK mpg. (35UK/30US on the motorway/highway)
