my auto 8 valve none turbo 900 is a wee bit of a disaster at UK fuel prices.. on a recent low traffic high speed 300 mile round trip to heathrow at say 80 mph i got 24 mpg (imperial gallons).. if i was very very gentle at say 55 mph-ish i might sqeeze say 28 to 29 mph.. short cold start trips well errr.. 10 mpg seems par fer the course..
i love driving the thing but fuel costs at UK prices dont exactly make it a practical proposition..
these us dudes quoting 30 mile per US gallon seem a little optimistic to me.. this would be something like 36 mph per imperial gallon.. for a heavy 2 litre car i think this is too much..
not saying it aint "possible" just "remarkable".. and that no one should expect it as a norm.. he he
