Cars using Veggy Oil for FUEL???
Only 48mph? Seems quite low. I thought about 100km/h was the standard speed limit in countries that used the metric system.

A three ton car with a 6 litre engine. shakes head.


that was fairly necessary, back when fuel-injection wasn't put in cars :P although i wish i had a v6 :(

6-7 mpg? What are you running? A V12? A V6 gets at least 20mpg, and a V4 gets 30+.


yeah that's why i said it's considered bad ;)  even for a car that weighs 6000+ lbs and has a 368c.i. V8, like mine.  also, you can't judge just on the engine size.  it depends what type engine, and what the engine's pulling.  i mean obviously a carbureted engine's going to be less efficient than a fuel-injected engine of the same size.

My car gets about 17 mpg. More when it's on the highway but less just driving around town.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

France: 50 km/h in city
90 km/h on normal roads
130 km/h on highways

I don't know what's the consumption of my car, I don't talk in gallons :doubt:( gallons, miles, pounds, you love to do everything differently, right? :p How come you use hours? :wtf: )

They tried metric hours. It was just stupid, though, so it was never implemented. Something like 20 hours a day (10 in each half), and 100 minutes an hour.

Solution to US fuel problem, change it to the Norwegian gas prices.

1 litre = 1.5$

Sure you would get tons of people *****ing about it, but it would probably cut down on some of the fuel usage :p

and then again, maybe not but you never know.

i'm considering cutting a hole in the bottom of my car, so to conserve gas, i can occasionally just stick my feet through and run, like fred flintstone

So, if America only pays say, half as much as everyone else does for their Gasoline, then do you guys do the same things as us, but just don't cry about the cost? Or do you not have any gasoline-powered fun?

Oh sure, there are plenty of 18+ people here with BMW's who more or less cruise around and just have "gasoline-powered-fun".

Sure everyone over whines about the prices, but it's not like they can do anything about it, the prices for the gasoline you have in the US would be considered pretty ****ing cheap for us weird Norwegian people (blames the government).

Myself, I'm not planning on getting a car (not in the near future anyways) mainly due to the sheer cost of getting one, and the insurance alone could bankrupt anyone who hasn't that big of an income.
And ofcourse it pollutes, so I'm content with letting others do the driving or the occasional *gasp* actually walking *gasp* :D

*looks up*
Alright I'm done ranting :D

I would love to not own a car.  But there is NO other way for me to get around (in a reasonable amount of time).  The local town is 10 miles away and my job is 30.

I do know some people (local hippies) that make their own fuel.  Kinda cool.

Not really.  Well not in my area anyway.  I live in Santa Cruz (CA, Bay Area) home of the hippies world wide.  Everything liberal here is ok.  Even Pot (medical reasons of course).
