    35 MPG so far, so not bad for a Petrol engine
    Not bad considering that is above the official MPG figures.

    I like the 0-60 time of 13 seconds.

      Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

        Rubbish fuel consumption at motorway speeds too.

              The official MPG of mine is 23

              I usually get 25mpg out of it

              If i'm driving carefully then 30mpg is possible

              Tailgating trucks and sticking to 56mph on the motorway I once got over 36mpg on a long trip

                That's not bad at all. The only 518 I drove really got a thirst on above 70-ish.
