Explanation please. Litres per km?

#2 This reads L/100km so just divide by 100 if you want L/km.
But really these numbers aren't anything special - any regular car would have the same values while accelerating, or especially when going steep uphill in a low gear.
Showing this just for acceleration makes no sense at all, this video is useless. Instead, let's see you drive a hundred kilometers and then let me see your average.

This is why electric hybrids make so much sense, their amazing amount of torque makes them perfect for accelerating from a dead stop and then letting the combustion engine take over at higher speeds where they're more efficient.
Bottom line- it's physics- it takes a lot of energy to get mass into motion.

#4 youre off by a factor of 10 there. A regular car has tops 35 l/100km in extreme situations. A Bugatti Veyron has a peak consumption of 100 l/100km.

#8 he didn't - he said "any regular car would have the same values while accelerating, or especially when going steep uphill in a low gear."

If you make a truck driver hit his brakes you are actually hurting the environment pretty badly
