^ Whoops, super late reply, sorry!


All my driving is in near optimal conditions. Almost all is on scenic highways & rural back roads with little to no other traffic (I can coast forever and not piss anyone off). I rarely go on highways with speed limits over 80 km/h (50 mph), and a good chunk are roads with 70 km/h limits. I'm usually within 5 km/h of the limit. And yes, I do LOTS of engine-off coasting whenever practical. No pulse & glide.



Average speed on my last tank per the ScanGauge was 58 km/h = 36 mph, but that also factors in time spent stopped -- that's how the SG does it. "Rolling" average is higher. I generally cruise around 70-75 km/h.

Canadians don't use A/C do they?
Ha! This base, poverty-spec Canadian edition doesn't even HAVE A/C!!


It's one reason the factory curb weight was the lightest you could get in North America at the time. 1973 lbs?
