Car Stats

I finally got down to an empty tank for the first time since getting here! So this evening I had the pleasure of calculating and converting the totals.

I get 400km per 23litre tank. That probably doesn't mean much to you, but nor did it to me, until I calculated that it equates to a whopping 40 mpg! It's no wonder, when you consider how tiny it is. You just have to bob your leg to some music for it to start rocking.

Anyway, after that I was feeling pretty snooty petuty about my nice mileage, until I did one more conversion and it put me in my place. Gas has been hovering around 138yen/litre, or ~$1.50. Sounds low, right? Well change it, that's $5.50 a gallon. Maybe it all works out in the end.

If you'd like more info, here's the link to the wikipedia page. Mine is the Autozam Mk II (1990-1994), Me Lady edition, near the bottom.
