I sometimes lend my car as a cargo hauler since it's the biggest and most fuel efficient in the family. The only catch is that it goes with the driver, since then it uses the least fuel.

One of my brothers-in-law wanted to borrow the car for a family vacation "because it hardly uses any fuel". I told him that the amount of fuel used depends on the driver more than on the car itself, and that with him tearing down the road at 160 km/h (100mph) he won't be seeing 3.5 l/100km on the on-board computer.
