1.Current market price - Kshs. 800k-900k and could be cheaper if you do a direct import yourself.

3. I do on average 90kms to and from work, it does on average 16-18kms/l but this is strictly highway so around CBD could be higher. Sijui other owner's experience but when i got it used to do 18-20km/l restricted to highway driving.
