Try the same vehicle around town where there is actually some traffic and you will cry when you visit the pump. I got sick of how much fuel the Falcon ate - it was fine when I drove mostly on the highway but such large cars in the traffic we get around Brisbane (which granted is relatively average) and it just doesn't make sense...

A couple of years back I drove a Hyundai Getz for a week whilst my BA was geting repaired and with my driving style it's fuel economy was no better than the BA and my BF is far more economical than the BA.

Yeah but it was a Hyundai

I don't see why Australians have such a problem with the size of their cars - people in the UK, which is arguably about as 'fat' as we are, seem to get by just fine with small cars?
