ya, but is it ecologically correct? Nice car though.

I'm on my way to pick up a jacket now, thanks for the indispensable warning, Rhisiart! you just may have saved my life!

Reed, bien qu'il brûle du pétrole, je suppose que tu dirais non. Cependant, mon ancien moteur avait un déplacement total de 16.2 L, mais mon Matrix jouit d'un moteur à déplacement total de 7.2 L. Alors, oui, c'est beaucoup plus écologique et plus économique.

Looks like a nice car. Congratulations.

Doubling your fuel economy, compared to your previous car, is certainly a considerable improvement! I had to do a quick conversion to MPG, but the numbers look quite good.

I was also reminded of a query I've sometimes thought about: whether car manufacturers in the UK refer to UK gallons or US gallons when quoting MPG!

Yes... quick math says that there would be around a 16% favor towards the Imperial gallon, given that you thought in terms of US gallons.

Forget the gas. This is a picture of my mate Harry showing off his new 4x4.

By the way, he's just made his way from the Kings Arms pub in the next village to the pub I am sitting in!
