Dear Josh and all ,

 Dimensions figures says all .
 Emissions and efficiency says nothing without the conditions definition :
On a testbank ?
At what speed ?
On a road without gear or speed change ?
On a real road with 10-20 stops or deviations ?
Only versus X  Km ?
Wind resistance or not ?
Fuel type ?
Soft or agressive drivers style ? 
Road surface ?
Test instruments quality .? Mark ?

We could cheating ourself with a heavy foot driving stile !
  Put a FIGARO CO sensor in a diluter box 2x5x8 cm  / Air input 10 mm  ,gas
input 5 mm into the car exhoust and see your CARBON MONOXIDE DRIVING STYLE
,wille driving .
 ACCELERATION makes the big difference .

A Chevrolet 4,6 L  used 15L/100 Km in country villages at 90 Km/h and
 10 L/100 Km at 120 Km/h on a 10000 Km high way trip!   What is its
consumpton now ???

Regards
Frans	.
