Well, I thought Honda Aspire was what they called the same car when selling it elsewhere. Maybe they don't sell it everywhere??

The Acura name was made up in about 1988 as a USA 'luxury' brand for Honda to sell more expensive cars. Do the Lexus (Toyota) or Infinity (Nissan) names exist over there?

Around here gas goes up & down from maybe $2.60 to $3.10 per gallon, so $0.69 to $0.82 per liter. Seems like its always high whenever MY gas tank is empty. But I understand it's a lot more in Europe.

Yeah, here in Europe there are few V6 engine... The fuel is too expensive for it...

Infinity is a brand new logo here, and Lexus is going pretty well...

Interesting as in the UK we don't get Acura or Infinity.
We do get Lexus though. I have seen Infinity when on holiday in the US and always thought it was an American brand. Never actually looked at one to realise it was Nissan.

Unleaded in the UK (95RON) is about £0.92 litre about $1.65 at 1.8 dollars to the pound sterling.
Super Unleaded (97RON) is about £0.99

I have just started a new job and one of my colleagues was showing me his 2003 Accord i-CDTi sedan. You seriously cannot tell it is a dieseasal when stood outside the car. And of course definately not inside, other than the obvious lower RPM maximum. It just ssounds so quiet. Honda have done a great job at changing the way a diieseasal sounds.

I should point out mine is not a VTEC unfortunately.

1 gallon cost (as of this morning in my city) $2.95 USD. I get about 26 miles to 1 gallon. This is about 42KM/gal or about 11Km/Litre. This is with mixed City and Highway driving. On the Highway I get 33.7Mpg or about 14Km/Litre


Table for comparison

1 US Gallon = 3.8L
1 Mile = 1.6Km
