Will the REAL ama-rocking Volksie step forward?

The T5 at Barberton's prettiest gold mine

Ja well no fine. I really, REALLY like VW's Amarok one-ton pick-up.
As I say on the YouTube link, (no, the one with the uncensorned jump on You Tube (see link below), Hitler probably had the Amarok in mind when he instructed Ferdinand Porsche to build a Volkswagon for the nation with, btw, space for three soldiers and a machine gun as per the original spec.
Still, redoubtable as the Amarok is, for work down at the mine I prefer another Volksie - their T5 Transporter.
Sure, its more spartan inside than 

 a max Security prison cell at Zonderwater. Yes, its loadbed is a tad too high to load comfortably if you don't first drop the sides.

But, if you can pardon
the shaky focus,
just have a look at this real-life consumption,
(with four passengers and a load on the rear) -------

Aye, I got the same in the lil' 2.0 bi-turbo Amarok. But only while cruising. While having fun, it was more like 11.2l/100km.

And while we're on the topic, when vill ze Jirmans start using litres per kilometer instead of zis litres per 10 000 metres?

For us poor journalists (remember, we pretend to work while they pretend to pay us) it is always a lot more useful to know exactly how far each costly litre of fuel can take you without having to do long division sums. Btw, 6.9l/100km = 14.5km/l. For a large van, folks. That's better than any of my Beetles ever managed.
