There's no way you can get 7-8L/100Km on a pickup in the city. Are you living in the countryside so there's no traffic?

Yeah even in my sedan I get 7.8 and that's with a lot of long distance travel

I would love to have an EV but there's 0 charging station in a 15Km radius from my house, and way too much gas station. FML.

Home charging is not an option.

I concur. I offset my gas consumption by using public transportation as often as I can. I reserve car usage for places that take more than 20% to get there via public transportation.

So if I go to a place and it takes 5 hours to get there by car, then 6 hours by public transportation is acceptable.

So the more remote a place is, I tend to drive.
