@Benzino....pretty much the same as what I had heard.Thanks for confirming. Anyone with details on the RunX/Allex? 20Km/Ltr (highway) & 14Km/Ltr (town) sounds too high. Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

New Subaru VX. 17km/litre. So they say Watch GIZMOS SUBARU VX on K24 TV on on 5th August 2012: http://www.kenyamoja.com/k24/Page-27/?page=5
 Doors of opportunity don't just open , they have to be unlocked & it's up to you to turn the knob.

GG2 or GG3 Subaru Impreza? KM per litre. Seriously waiting.also compare this with fielder From my experience, having owned and driven both models, the GG2 is slightly better at 10km/L town driving and 12 Km/l on the highway. GG3 - 9Km/L Town, 11 Km/L Highway. This is slightly higher because of the full time AWD on this model. Benzino that consumption looks high for a 1500 cc Subaru. I squeeze 10km/l in town, 15 km/l highway from a 2000 cc manual forester XT.

Has Shell ever explained how a vehicle could travel 52 km on 1 liter?

However, the Subaru Legacy BP5 (2005) and Subaru Legacy BL5 (2005) consume way better than their lazy sisters (imprezas). 10 Km/l Town driving, 13 Km/l on the Highway. [Tested and Proven]

@Benzino....thanks. Is the GG2 1500cc comparable in terms of driving experience to a RunX? Anything you dont like about the GG2? Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

Anything you dont like about the GG2? I have never owned a Toyota, hence cannot authoritatively speak about them. However, from my experience with the Impreza GG2 & GG3, it is quite a solid car, despite being 'lazy'. That is, it is not quite as fast and as powerful as you'd expect a Subaru to be. On the other hand, if you are seriously considering getting a Subaru, I'd recommend you get a Subaru legacy (BP5 or BL5). These cars are quite affordable[costs almost like an Impreza],have very good road manners and consume quite reasonably despite being 2000cc. Confirmed: 10Km/L town, 13 Km/l Highway.

Ive been to the Japanese car exporting sites.. most of the cars on sale especially those 5-8 years old have done almost 80,000kms on average.... beats me why they all dilly dally around 50-60K kms when get into the Kenyan Market...
What makes it worse is with more than 4 years on Kenyan roads the same car will still be under 100,000kms when it hits the market...
when buying a car.. its good to ask the year of manufacture.. then do the maths.. that way you know if you are dealing with a genuine seller...

If you buy a new car from toyota they give you 15,000 km to 20,000 km to get full efficiency. I have seen second hand cars reading 20k or 30 something km, you just imagine its the best range all the way to 85,000 km. In mombasa the business of rewinding car millage is thriving. Compare that with what you have.

And yet we have 7yr old Japanese imports reading '40000'km?

Now check the km done and the litres consumed.

Foz00 wrote:Depending on what route you are on Km/L wont make sense maybe Hrs/L....from rongai to langata in 3hrs jam i use 10L  Ouch!! Foz00, you took this right out of my mind. With the kind of traffic that has been on Nairobi this week, the measure should surely be hours/litre. I fuelled 3000 bob at Kshs. 106 i.e 28 litres on Sunday. 145 km later today my fuel gauge is just about to read 'E'nough. Thats about 5km/ litres. On the other hand if I consider that I spent about 16.5 hours to cover that distance then I would be saying 1.7hours/litre. The tragedy of the driving class! No wonder my mum says we young people are the cross of a crazy generation and a mad one.
