I've never been part of an organized drive like that. It'd be pretty neat to see a line of identical cars going down the road, well, so long as it didn't cause traffic! Does yellow also cost extra like orange? How fun! I’ve never been part of an organized drive like that.

At first I thought it was a bunch of people driving to a car lot to drop of some cars or something. How fuel efficient is that car? That is awesome lol.

People have forgotten how to do those kinds of things.

Because I know that in my car, it gives me the option of reporting in either miles per gallon or L/100km, not km/L (which would be a more logical benchmark). If it were in km/L, I'd think that you'd love seeing a 28.4 figure - that'd be 67 miles per gallon or 3.5L/100km, which I'd expect if you're going down a hill braking - if you were seeing that under acceleration, then it's definitely in L/100km. ;) Plus, I love all the colors, but blue is definitely my favorite, with orange probably a close second. ;) Who in their right mind would let a P-plater drive a performance vehicle like an XR-5?? :shock:

Gerry the XR-5 is a 5 cylinder Volvo motor and it has a turbo which chews up a bit of gas. We use litres here so it may not make much sense - on the cruise we got 10.6 kms per litre. It has a nifty little gauge that gives you mileage in real time and that can sometimes be scary (28.4 is a figure that I recall seeing on there from time to time) but it averages out ok in the end. ;) Orange is so much more because it is a special paint job which takes a lot more work and there are orange highlights throughout the car in the interior on the seats etc. :) The paint job is amazing when the sun hits it.
