I have been getting around 120 miles to Ł20, and that's with hardly any boost (6psi at the most, peak) and on Grey's. It's going to be so shit on fuel once it sees boost and some decent revs

Depends on how u drive it. Ł35 of optimax gives me about 220 miles driving sensible short journeys to work etc but with the foot down going about the countryside for a thrash lucky to get 150 miles.

Lets be fair though, no-one buys an RS for its economical values

i get around 50-55 miles on Ł10 but got the shock of my life when i just recently filled up at shell. It was running on near empty and cost me Ł42 to fill her up. You would think i would be filling a merc up and im only expected to get 200 miles out of it
