University of Waterloo Transit & Ring Road

In a country (continent) of so many SUVs and pickups, I doubt this would fly. I was shocked recently when I had rented an economy car, only to find out only a Silverado pickup was available. The previous renter had averaged 20L/100km, with a 'best' of 15. Within no time at all, I had a 'best' of just under 9, and held it there for a weekend. If you had to go to a truck driver and explain that they were complaining about a 5% increase in gas prices, while using 100%+ more fuel than they needed, there'd be pitchforks.

Even then, the ratings only went as high as 40L/100km, which was achievable with even light acceleration from stop/on hills/on highways. Would. Not. Fly. Ignorance is bliss.
