Even though the porshe would be more fun the nissan is more economical. Convert the liters to gallons and the kilometers to miles. Then divide the miles by the gallons. There are 3.79 liters in a gallon and 1.6 kilometers in a mile. 10 liters equals 2.64 gallons and 100 km equals 62 miles. The porshe gets about 23mpg.
