There was the shell fuel challenge over the weekend.
The winner was the one who used least fuel to Naivasha and Back.
So the winner used 3.32 litres from Nairobi to Naivasha and back a distance of about 180Kilometres.

Is that even possible?



This is an annual Economy Run event that is held by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club and those are generally the figures........if only people could drive "properly"

Kweri rongo the nissan march fuel consumption from nairobi to mombasa is only 2K


The Nissan March (or Micra, depending on where you live), has been around for a long time in the subcompact segment. It may look plain, but delivers where it is important, especially in interior space and fuel economy.


A small car like that one itaweza kweli on a highway?

Maybe when stuck in Nairobi traffic but on safari I believe it will be thirsty.

if you start racing with the pajeros on the highway then it will consume an abnormal amount of fuel - lakini if your ego is not centered on car sizes and being overtaken then that ka small engine will give you very good returns even on long distances -and well, in kenya we have very few highways and in most cases even for the long distances there are lots of slowing and accelerating that it just feels like a monstrous urban drive smile

I love the TIGUAN. Just the looks though.

Economical on fuel, right? How about service? How much do you pay to replace
Engine?
Gear box?
Suspensions?
Head lights?
side Mirrors, windscreen?

As compared to its competition?

The local VW dealer is still cmc, right? Youre better off shipping in the spares yourself.
