Yesterday I hired a 2002 NZE filled it up with 3K gas at Parklands. I drove to Murang'a all the way Kiangage, Kiharu, Kangema past kahuhia. then I drove back to Ruai via Eastern Bypass. On checking the fuel gauge I noticed I still had gazillion litres of gas so I decided to drive to Nakuru. Followed the Eastern Bypass all the way to Ruaka, Limuru past St. Paul's Uni,hit the highway all the way. On reaching Gilgil I noticed that the fuel was just below quarter so not wanting to take chances I took the turn to Gilgil and went to the Total on the road to Nyahururu, here I filled it up with 1500 fuel and found my way back to the highway and all the way to Nakuru. In Nakuru took a Tanye malt at Rafikiz then another two at Samba went to say hi to my mum and drove back to Nairobi.

didn't check but I have done the same route with other cars and it was not that rosy. A Toyota Allion would consume between 3500 and 4K Nak-Nrb round trip only. I did the same trip to Kangema with Carina, and Probox and 3K brought me back to Nrb and a litle driving around, with Carina I went to kangema then back Rongai through Eastern bypass and that was it I had to refill for drive home. Of course I am not comparing with the usual guzzlers and German technology

1. Never measure ngata by cash spent, but litres bought. If I buy 3k worth when the cost is 150/lt, I get 20 litres. If I pay the same amount when the rate is 75/lt, I get 40 litres.

2. Regarding Tanye malt, you have gone through the new Traffic Act??

for 4500 Ksh you consumed around 39.8 Ltr, for a distance of approximately 500km

at around 12.5 km/l, its still on the higher side, a good number of the so called guzzlers can better that - considering this is mostly highway driving.

these things also tend to have a bigger reserve so even when at Enough it can still do like 100 kms
