Ok. I know you need plenty of room, with those sproggs, but I used to have a Ford LTD, 8 cyl., the big engine, very powerful, but got 12 mpg. Ouch! And then there's the short life span for the car, seems like they start to fall apart at 75,000 miles. (Found On the Road Dead, get it?)Started buying Honda Accords, was very happy with them. Am driving a Camry now, not so happy. But, the mileage is still really good, by comparison with the LTD. If you mean Imperial gallon, that's 5 quarts, my hubby says. Our gallon is 4 quarts. Your liters are a bit more than our quarts.

Date: Sun, 5 May 2002 14:31:03 +0100 JanG, hopefully I will keep the "new" car (which will be second hand) for around 3 years, then iwill be looking for something a lot newer, as finances will permit then (the says hopefully) Gas, Petrol here, is darned expensive compared to the prices that you pay, it runs at around £4.00 per Gallon, there is a difference between English and US gallons, I would have to look that up, but an English Gallon of Petrol is around $6 50cents? maybe more! and the car I am planning of having won't do a terrific mileage to the gallon, but I am used to that, and have to transport 3 teenagers plus boy/girl friends, Cadets, Muppet hounds, and it has to be a big enough car to tow a trailer with all the camping gear, and I like comfort in a car, and lots of pretties to tinker with!
