5.5 L/100km = 42.77 MPG
that great mpg..https://www.calculateme.com/gas-mileage/liters-per-100-km-to-us-mpg.
This trip was from Halifax to Sydney, Nova Scotia. The weather is just getting really warmed up here. Usually our hottest weather is mid July into August, seems to get a little warmer every year. Some of the views and scenery here in Nova Scotia and on Cape Breton Island in particular, can't be beat. Here are some stock photos for those who may not have seen our island.Cool. @imaddicted2u Was that driving the Cabot trail ?
The best I've gotten is 6L/100km. About 39 mpg. in Highway driving.
Nova Scotia is such a cool province; a lot of great trails to explore, I was there once and would like to go again sometime.
And 31C weather in NS? Warm summer there.
We usually use US gallons or liters to calc fuel economy but using imperial gallons sure makes the mileage look even better...lol.that great mpg..https://www.calculateme.com/gas-mileage/liters-per-100-km-to-us-mpg.
Convert Liters/100 km to American MPG
Fuel Economy
From
To
5.5 Liters per 100 km =
42.77 U.S. MPG
and if you go British gallon which I do believe is the size of the Canadian gallon..51.36mpg

these are the same figures I get.
The way the IVT uses a chain belt instead of a segmented steel belt to drive the pulleys, eeks out some better economy on the highway because the chain belt allows it to go deeper into the pulley giving a higher gear ratio than a steel belt in a CVT can get.That's awesome mileage. The little engine is so thrifty and high-tech plus paired with the IVT. I only average about 9.5 L/100KM when I am working (security guard sitting idling for 8 hours) -- that's driving the 10 KM there, mostly idling for 6-7 hours, then driving home.
But on highway, I get about 6 L/KM. Most of my driving is city/town though.
Yeah! Why do they rate it with volume per 100 distance? Why not some unit(s) per 1 (one) unit as in heart beats per minute, eye winks per minute, RPM, paces (steps) per minute, kilometers per liter, miles per gallon, etc? Just wondering. I think Europeans too rate their gas consumption with liters (or litres) per 100 kilometers.that great mpg..https://www.calculateme.com/gas-mileage/liters-per-100-km-to-us-mpg.

it went that way when the metric system switch took place...we lost the price per gallon at the pumps and the measurement was liters so now the pumps price is so much per liter and the system changed to the number of liters that are used for 100 kilometers traveled..the lower number of liters used /100 kilometers is the "yard stick" [good pun] that the manufactures use to rate their vehicles "mpg" ratings...yes confusing! 😒Yeah!

You mean “meter stick”. Yeah, why didn’t the geniuses converted to kilometers per liter as in Canadian Dollars per liter on the gas pump?it went that way when the metric system switch took place...we lost the price per gallon at the pumps and the measurement was liters so now the pumps price is so much per liter and the system changed to the number of liters that are used for 100 kilometers traveled..the lower number of liters used /100 kilometers is the "yard stick" [good pun] that the manufactures use to rate their vehicles "mpg" ratings...yes confusing! 😒
Because if they reported liters per kilometer they would be talking about tiny numbers like 0.005 or 0.007 and it would be much more unwieldy.Yeah! Why do they rate it with volume per 100 distance?
