It takes 7.1 litres of gas to go 100 kms in the city in this car (even less if you have access to a highway!). That's 7.1 * 30 / 100 = 2.13 litres. At about a buck a litre, that's about two bucks. A little more than what you'd pay for coffee at Tim Hortons but about as much as you'd pay if you went to Starbucks. Either way, if you can't fit that into your budget, you had financial issues before anything happened to the price of gas...

I rented one of these in Iceland, not the current iteration but the version before. I was impressed by it's fuel efficiency and it's peppiness, but I really didn't like how small it was, it was too small for all our luggages and it was the 5 door model.
