Related thread: http://www.wazua.co.ke/forum.aspx?g=posts&t=25529&p=3#post452676 I've done Nairobi - Vihiga (10 or so kms from Kisumu)and back to Nairobi, then another 5 days or so of 42kms daily on one full tank. Car is an Allion 1.5lt. Do the math this is 16km/l or so, impressive lakini you were driving at what speed?? My maths give me; Aprox. 370*2= 720+42*5 = 930 Now assuming 60ltr tank, then 930/60 = 15.5km/ltr Not bad. "Never regret, if its good, its wonderful. If its bad, its experience."

There was also some rough offroad stretch around Kericho since rd was under construction (doing around 40-60kph)

I will talk about Prius hybrid, the car is good, a friend of mine owns one. The only problem will come when that Battery power pack needs replacement...his batt has been losing power/storage quite faster and the cheapest quote he has been told for a second hand power pack is a cool Vitz-price; Kes. 400K! And the batt is imnported from Dubai. However doing 24km/l is not far fetched! Portfolio: Sold

[quote=Tebes]Why do people like premium petrol even when the car specifications indicate the vehicle is to use regular gasoline??? http://www.consumerenerg...regular_vs_premium.html[/quote] once had a car whose manual specifically said use premium petrol, it warned of a fire in the catalytic converter if premium was not used 'One headache for famous medieval holy people was that someone might murder you to acquire your body parts for the relics trade'
