hi,

Just calculated: 1L gasoline, 11 Danish kroner/liter.

1 gallon = 4.25 L

1 gallon fuel = 4.25*11 kr/gallon = 46,75 Danish kroner/liter. 1 US$ = 6.05 Danish kroner

IN Denmark, Europe: 1 gallon of gasoline costs 7,27$

Thats why many people drive small fuel-efficient cars :-), such as the Peugeot 107, http://www.peugeot.dk/configure/Showrooms/src/index2.php?showroom=3534

which in gasoline version 998 cc, goes 21.7 km/l at mixind driving, equals 51 mpg :-)

IN Diesel version, 1.4 HDI, mileage is 24.4 km/l, equals 57.39 mpg :-) Diesel version, at 80 km/h, 29.4 km/l equals 69 mpg :-O

Happy driVWing

Jens Jakob, Denmark, Europe Happyli driving my Vanagon, but never filling the tank more than 20 or 30 liter a time (cant stand the chock of more than 100 us$ for a full tank!) My Vanagon mileage is 8 km/l mixed driving, equals 18.8 mpg or so. City cycle is 5 km/l, equals 11 mpg!!!!!!!!!!!!
