Not always. Depends on whose quarts you're talking about (as my fellow Canadian was implying): 3.8 litres (approx - don't have the exact conversion figures) go into an American gallon. 4.546 litres go into an Imperial gallon. Size in increasing volume is thus: American quart , litre, Imperial quart. Back to the main topic: I posted the following figures for our car back in March (which were from Swedish winter driving conditions): ... fuel economy for our 9-3 (with 200hp engine) under similar driving conditions. We consume 10.5 litres per 100 km, which is about 22 mpg (U.S. gallons) or 25 mpg (Imperial gallons) ... Now it's summertime and we're getting about 7% better figures than the above. But my wife likes to spool up the turbo a fair bit so we go through a fair bit of petrol, tyres, and brakes ;-) Hope that helps.
