My truck stays parked until it needs to haul something, then I think it's worth it. Maybe 13 or 14 L/100 km, just guessing.

Volvo XC90 3.2 cost me $117 last time I filled it. It's my wife's car. 11L/100k

My 64 Rambler 232 3.8 (forerunner to the Jeep 4.0) does slightly better than the Volvo, about 10 1/2 L/100k.

My son is driving vw golf tdi 5 1/2 to 6 L/100k.

I'm driving old Focus wagon about 8 L/100km, the way I drive it.

We're on the waiting list for a new hybrid but it's been months now. Next one after that will be electric.

I know how that goes. I'm on a waiting list for a C8 Corvette. I think it's been about a year now. The dealer has got a couple in but they weren't what I wanted and I'm not spending that much unless it's exactly what I want and the price isn't all marked up. GM has been less than cooperative. The dealer keeps calling me telling me to hang on. Yeah right. I've pretty much given up at this point.

I thought of getting a Tesla. But for the money they just don't do it for me. They're kind of boring. I drove a company car for about 10 years that was electric and I sure hope that battery technology has improved since then. I went through at least 3 or 4 of them. They were mostly Rav4 Toyota's and some weird thing from GM. They were okay but the chargers were unreliable and it took about 3 hours to charge one. So if the charger failed then you were down for 3 hours. There was that and the range was about 60 miles before you ran out of juice. But that was in about 1999 . Probably not a fair comparison to today's stuff.
