I turn 65 next week and I’m a few years off retirement but I tend to slow down.
I took my green machine for a quick squirt today, a couple hundred km’s, didn’t take long, filled it with 98 before I left but didn’t look at the fuel gauge when I got back but must have been in the 20ltr/100km range

My neighbour brought a new jazz hybrid no battery plugin and self charges..
New tech 3.5 litres per 100km around town and 4.3 on open road ..
Of course expensive to buy but interesting tech and no ruc

20 L per hundred. Whats a green "machine" ? please.
Getting a bit off track here but,
My daily drive/work/tow the boat vehicle is an older (2008) 4.4 litre v8 range rover ave 13.3 L per hundred.
Was considering getting a hybrid for general runabout but probably not worth the added rego etc expense and usually carting too much stuff anyway.
