Hi from $11 a gallon land
 

Hi I have been lurking for a while and have picked up a few good tips.
I drive a Fiat Panda Diesel and get 60 US mpg here in England.

Welcome to the site. Is that $11 for diesel or petro? Ouch! We don't the Panda in the US to fuel effecient. Any Pics so to look at.

Yeah, I definitely want to see some pictures! Welcome to ecomodder!

Welcome to the site. Yes, pictures would be great. Also, what is your car rated for?

I'd like to see your car.

What is the normal mpg, if that is not it?

Ah, I guess the panda is too fuel efficient for the US.

Here is a link to the UK Fiat site featuring the Panda http://www.fiat.co.uk/Showroom/?camp...showroom/panda (I am hopeless at posting pics on forums).Since I bought mine a year ago Fiat have launched another small car called the Fiat 500 which uses the same floor pan and mechanicals and will be launched in the US in the future.

Ratings are:

Combined: 41.3 mpg US
Extraurban: 49.0 mpg US
Urban: 32.6 mpg US

No, I think it is because the EPA has a thingy about soot particles. :rolleyes:

Welcome to the forum! I would love to see cars like that produced in the States.
