Vibe the most fuel efficient Mid Size in Canada

Post by Frosty »

From: http://www.canadiandriver.com/news/030214-2.htmMid-Size Pontiac Vibe and Toyota Corolla Matrix, 1.8 L, 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual Fuel consumption: city 7.7 L/100 km (37 mi/gal); highway 6.0 L/100 km (47 mi/gal) Annual fuel cost: $929 Annual fuel use: 1,387 L We are thrifty people! Oddly the Ford Focus is thirstier in the City and wins the Station Wagon category. Does that settle the "Is the Vibe a Station Wagon question"?

I'm getting about 8-9 l/100km city and 7-8l/100km highwayDon't forget it's winter and the fuel consumption is far below this ratings as temperature goes down.quote:Take your foot off the brake! And be smooth with the accelerator... Here's a post I made about this award to the Vibe: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id ... 1690#21690 And don't forget these testings are made on very good conditions. See the section that explains the testings: http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/vehicles/guide/g ... w=N&Text=N
