15,1 L/100km? In a regular car from this century? How is that even possible?

I think the implication is that it was probably a taxi for most of its life. So it is implied there was a lot of Aussie puke and piss in that back seat. And probably the front. And the headliner. And the trunk. Pretty much that entire car contains a wide variety of DNA specimens.

And in a taxi no less. 640k km with 15.1L/100 km, how does that make any business sense? A standard taxi here (E220d or similar) probably uses less than half.
Also interesting that they keep talking about its 2 airbags. In a large car from 2007. That’s a bad thing, not a good one. My 7 years older Peugeot has 4 airbags. Standard.
I guess this thing makes it clear why the Australian cat industry is dying/is dead. That thing is a dinosaur.

That’s with LPG. Which costs half of regular petrol around here.

That does make it somewhat better. My 17 year old midsize coupe runs on LPG too, but on LPG it uses 10L/100 km as long as I restrict myself to 130 kmh.
Cost of LPG in my country: €0.50/L, regular gasoline €1.40/L. So it’s weird to me so few people use this type of fuel. It’s probably due to diesel though.
