Default Fuel Ecomomy

A few of us were talking about fuel economy in the Gas forum, I thought it would be interesting to post what my company vehicle gets and make you all feel better about your own fuel consumption.

This vehicle has done around 350.000kms and according to the trip computer it has been averaging 55litres per 100km.


Feel better about your fuel bill now

Roger.

"NEW YORK (Reuters) – Exxon Mobil Corp. posted a quarterly profit of $9.9 billion Thursday, the largest in U.S. corporate history, as it raked in a bonanza from soaring oil and gas prices.....

.....Exxon’s quarterly profit was up 75 percent from a year earlier, and revenue rose 32 percent to more than $100 billion"
