i don´t understand people patting themselves on the back when they talk about fuel efficiency of 25mpg. my golf was getting 40mpg (6 l/100km) on the freeway and 30mpg (8 l/100km) in city running. the worst car i´ve ever owned in terms of fuel efficiency was a ´74 volvo 164TE which has a 3l straight six and manual overdrive box and the worst i´d get from that car was 21 mpg (11 l/100km) and on the freeway it would get 26mpg (9 l/100km) and this was from an 18 year old driver (1st car i drove with my license) who obviously wasn´t driving for efficiency.

physics of a bicycle, isn't it remarkable?
