Does track count as real world driving?

Went pretty hard on my Camaro SS 1LE and it got a whopping 42 L/100 km.

Sonic - Emerson to Falcon Lake, then home and a week of the kid taking it to work...5.98l/100km.

F150 - to Falcon Lake with the camper then to Wpg and back (no camper) then home (camper)...14.39l/100

F150 - home to Falcon Lake (weeks #2 & 3), home, then to Wpg and back with the utility trailer (kid helped a friend move) - 28l/100km - 444 km on 124l - $164.

You need to get a F-150 lightningin a couple of years,
It would probably be less than $20

But could it tow a camper, fit the bikes (+ everything else - stupid useless 5' bed), and get there and back on one "tank"?  Or even there on one charge with a trailer.  I'd be happy with the hybrid.  I think.  With the 7200 watt generator.  Yeah, I'd like that.

Trip to Blue Lake, ON with the camper - two bikes and a canoe on top of the camper, and an additional canoe on top of the truck - displayed average was 19.4L/100kms both ways.  Normally I do about 16-17L/100km with the trailer and one canoe, but the 2nd canoe on top of the truck really impacted mileage a fair bit.

My kid just called me from the US - he's driving a 2020 F150 3.5 Ecoboost...122 kmh - shows 11l/100km.  Still no reason for you to buy a new truck (dad) - $4/100 km more with the 2013 - you're only looking at $4000 more in fuel vs $40,000+ upgrading to a new truck...

Ahh kids...he should've been an accountant or a financial advisor - would've made a shitload more money than being an engineer too.  Smart with money...why wasn't he smart with career choice?

$4k as of today, work that forecast over the next 5y - gas is likely to be $2 - $2.5.

He is also forgetting the potential opportunity cost…

I can see why he is an engineer [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

What potential opportunity cost?

Cambridge to Windsor and back.

7.7 going and 8.1 on the return. Cruse set at 119 kph.

Kid called again...swapped with the other guy who's heading home for a couple of weeks, said he ended up with mid/high 11's at the end of his half drive to Colorado...swapped into a 2018 RAM 1500 Diesel...got mid-low 11's at the same speed (figured about .5l/100 better @ 123kmh/76mph), and it's a total dog and some other fine terms of how absolutely horrible it was and how "you are NEVER allowed to buy one of these PsOS".  U-Connect is crap...gauges/instrument looks like crap (worse than the Sonic? I say - mulls...damn near as bad, yes).  No love lost there.

Just filled up the Mazda for the 2nd time, so now I finally have a result on Fuelly (no idea why it's not showing up on my sig banner, but oh well).

7.3 L/100kms.  That's mostly city, with a little bit of highway thrown in.  Official ratings are 8.2L/100km city, and 5.9L/100km highway, so I'm right smack-dab in the middle there, and I'd say that's a pretty good representation of the mix of driving I've been doing. 

For comparison's sake, the last ten fill-ups in the Tundra have netted me an average of 18L/100kms, again with a mix of city/highway.  All the highway trips have been pulling the trailer.

I did a 500km round trip in the Tundra last weekend.  Four passengers, a dog, and a box full of stuff.  Single lane highway cruising at 115km/hr.  Some toodling around at the lake.  Trip computer showed 14.4L/100km.  I actually hand calculated this one at 14.6L/100km.  About as good as it gets. 

For the handful of times I've hand calculated the economy the trip computer is quite accurate, despite what AS says.

The truck's lifetime average on Fuelly currently sits at 20.5L/100kms.  The trip computer also shows a lifetime average, and it's currently sitting at 20.0L/100kms.  The Tundra's calculation in its display is only 0.5L/100km optimistic.  That works out to an error of 2.5%

Everyone's signature only shows up on the first post of each page. So it's on there.

That's pretty good. The lifetime average on the old 2012 2.0L Skyactiv GS was 7.7 L/100km. I've had a 4.7 L/100km and a 4.9 L/100km tank. It's a fantastic engine.

That's pretty good, my Pilot is always about 1.0L/100km optimistic

Feels kinda hollow now, after I saw in DJ's Venza S&S thread that he got 4.7 on a trip across town.  In a big, fat, luxurious AWD CUV. 

Effing hybrids putting peak internal combustion to shame!!!

^^ You get points for buying a CAR though.

With a stick shift. I'd like a hybrid one day but I'm not going to go carve canyons with it.

It's not that big lol. It's about RAV4 sized but in a low roof kind of coupe format.

Dora tha Gas Guzzling Explorer after 1486 km. Towing range has been 176 to 246 km.  We also learned not to trust the distance to empty metre. We ran out of gas when it said 8km remaining, about 5km from the nearest gas station.
