What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Bob Culver]

Here an astonishing 80% of new vehicle sales are utes, especially twin cab, and SUVs. (A huge number of used Jap cars imported) The consumption cllimed for the heavy utes , fully the equal of giant vintage and 1930s cars, is truly astonishing. Typically 7 litres  per 100km in the infuriating local measure, or divide into 282 to get MPG. My inherited Jazz has a readout of km per litre so on journeys I am not stcck for entertainment mentally converting to mpg and adding in the reading error. Typically exceeds 45mpg for all running quite laden wichi takes the edge of my 1964 car which does 30 or 22 around town (but vastly  more satisfying  to drive).
