474km for 34L = 7.17L/100km. Not getting down to the quoted figures yet.

The big end bearing for No.2 in my Volkswagen VR6 shreded a few weeks ago leaving me with a very expensive repair.
I eventually made the decision to let the VR6 go and bought a 2007 Yaris 1.5 3 door. Not as exciting to drive but should be reliable.
On the first tank of petrol (assuming it was 100% full from the dealer) I managed 484km from 35 litres which I think works out to be 7.23L/100km.

Western Digital has recently started shipping a new range of hard drives that claim to have a reduced energy consumption compared to the competition.
- 38% reduced power consumption
- Consumes 4-5w less that competitors drives
- Save up to $14.00 per year in electricity costs
- Reduced heat and noise
This reduction apparently equates to a reduction of CO2 emissions by up to 13.8 kilograms per drive per year – the equivalent of taking a car off the road for 3 days each year.
Whilst this may or may not sound like much, think of how many computers are purchased every year.
