why so many fuel consumption tests on the freeway
that only tests the ADR “extra-urban” figure

meanwhile the other ADR figure, “urban”, is representative of highway driving with some traffic

what we really need is a new ADR “intra-urban” figure !
for city driving or highway driving with realistic (moderate-heavy) level of traffic

Try fitting five peoples gear into a prirus… or even a pram with some shopping. And try overtaking a B-double in one. Or try towing a boat or a caravan. We have to realise one car does not fit all. It might shock some people, but a little imported Golf or Prius is not the perfect car for a lot of Australian families.

Where else is the tech in this price range? I dont see Maximas, Accords, Camrys, Aurions, Mazda6s with it. Honestly this is getting tiring.

A 4wd that gets a fuel economy below 7l/100km is running on diesel.
Ok I understand that Diesel is cheap in in major cities, but what about Alice Springs where diesel is much more than petrol.
