I think its that lead foot I bought...Must try and find the receipt and return it for a refund  :signLOL:

I get 95 when i havent got my foot on the pedal  :grin:

Problem is, that its very so addictive to boot these cars at every opportunity to make the exhaust fart!  :booty:

I probably average 28-30mpg daily in mine, if im playing more around 18mpg. I have had 37mpg a few times but they were the most boring drives of my life! Those are all Stg 2+ figures.

30mpg on avaerage which comes from 24-26mpg round town and up to about 32mpg on the motorway.  I have seen 41mpg but that was a one off when I was running on fumes and was driving as economically as I could to get to the next petrol station!

I think its just driving style more than anything Alex! Im sure you can get very credible MPG out of these, but if thats what you want you bought the wrong car anyway!

I went out in mine twice yesterday and got 14.3MPG.... but i had fun on the way!  :grin:

I think you are probably right Rich

These cars are meant to be driven like sports cars, so those of use that have a lead foot pay the price in a low MPG  :signLOL:
