Welcome! I average 180/200 miles to a tank of fuel, but the majority of my driving is town driving, The most I've gotten from a tank is about 275 on the motorway, but I try not to think about it.

cheers everyone im not to worried about mpg as id probably only use 1 tank a week going from work and back sometimes not even that, obv the review figures on the car are never really accurate,
im from kilbirnie north ayrshire is there many people on here from scotland never really see many mps on the roads, but i did pass 2 today one after the other both white haha

Mines pretty good on fuel considering its 300+HP, last tank I seen 300 miles from 50L so real world 27mpg that's 60% motorway and 40% A/B roads. To be honest I'm very rarely on boost these days as its just used in rush hour for the daily commute and my average speed never gets above 32 mph.

Derv land here a come...

Its grey think i heard it being called cosmic grey ? Hopefully picking it up nxt weekend as its down in birmingham 5 and a half hour drive away. Whats a rough mpg people were getting i heard between 25 and 30 was just curious will be using it for work but only travel about 20 mins to work at the most and my old swift sport only averaged 30 mpg so dont think i should notice much of a differance if i can lay off the right pedal haha  Hi mate, Have you picked your car up yet, im looking at getting a white one i think its from the same place you got yours, how did you find the garage? Thanks

looks great, toyed with silver myself, went for white in the end with the black wheels for added power! haha i drove down to wales for mine, bet you enjoyed the drive back up from getting it? :-) in lochwinnoch myself so have maybe seen me pass,  as for mpg, you will have found out now but im on pretty much a tank a week if commuting with it, fall back on my diesel powered car sometimes which does 2 weeks of commute on a tank, hahaha any plans to for mods?
