That's a bloody long drive! Wow. In a Midget.... Google says 7050 km, but of course Google wasn't even a thought in '65! I've thought of driving out there a few times, but it's even farther for me from Vancouver.

Agreed. I need one. I will try to stealth in a purchase without the wife finding out. I wonder if she'll notice it, considering it's going in her car.... HA! I'll probably get the SCe for the cheapness.

I did a Google Map route of Hope-Osoyoos-Hope, getting an exact mileage (if Google is accurate, which I assume it is) to make distance adjustments. It turns out the Matrix trips 2.6% lower than actual, which means I can increase my mileage calculations by the same amount. This round was a hair better than last round: 42.2 mpg (IMP), 35.2 mpg (US), 6.7L/100km
