Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Any hybrid daily drivers out there?

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

So, 5 liters per 100 kilometers would equal out to around 47 miles per
gallon.  Not too shabby.  I get around 20 mpg with the Mercedes, Karen
usually gets mid to high 20s with her Integra, and my '96 Camaro SS has
gotten a bit more than 17 on occasion, but I expect 16 when I drive it
"normally".  Not going to do anything w/o investigating a lot more (and it's
fun) but this is just ridiculous.  I know other countries have been paying a
lot more for a lot longer.  Maybe we should just "liberate" Saudi Arabia.
Nah, just kidding, but I'll bet it's been tossed around...
