not sure google got it wrong??
www.google.com.au/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=BdzkUpXW...r+to+liter+per+100km

not sure of the confusion??
unrealistic, overzealous fuel calculation that beats factory standards if you are getting 38mpg.


especially when you consider that factory standard are usually exaggerated to make theem look better.
i would challenge anyone to actually prove (and not lie to themselves) that they are averaging 6.6 liters per 100km. or the fabled 38mpg.
i geuss you could if you sat at 20mph and never went against the wind, but we are talking real world results, a toyota hybrid prius barely gets 38mpg.

If you change it to imperial gallons(imp) 7.4 ltrs/100km is correct which is in the middle of the list of factory figures you quoted.
Yes our gallon is bigger than a U.S. gallon :)

I started off high and worked my way down ever since :-)

over inflated factory figure though.

i dont know of anyone returning that figure as a normal average.
especially once you add any mods, or an air freshener would probably bog down the 1.3.

and 7.4 still inst 38mpg ;)

i wish they would release the jimny with a 1.9 td diesel or a 2 liter petrol. that may make some better fuel figures.

I get about 36 mpg and on standard size wheels/tyres. No mods.
I've tried it on a few calculators and it comes up the same???
A US Gallon is about 6.1 l/100km so I don't know which calculator you are using??
Here's a chart for imp. gallons.
