It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

I used to give them all shit about hooking their wallets directly up to the fuel tank to save time, but it seems I was wrong on that one. There's a RAM something or other, an F150 and a Chevy Silverado in the circle of super ultra power megablokes. They all get pretty similar figures: 12-13L/100km average.

I was pretty miffed because that's actually better than my comparatively tiny japanese 4x4 gets sometimes. They must have put some serious work in to achieving those figures with such a massive vehicle and massive engine.

    European here. Japanese cars just have bad fuel economy tbh.

    In the America-centric culture we have here on the Internet, they're touted as highly efficient because the comparison is usually Prius vs F250, but really you can often get better fuel economy from German cars than Japanese. German diesels in particular. Average driver will probably get the same highway fuel economy out of an E-Class or a Civic.
