They are not the most economical cars on the road but what 2 litre turbo is! I've had mine 2 years and love it does everything you need about town and on the open road it will go like stink.

Well in my car Ł50 see's about 265 miles varied driving in town and on runs, so divide 265 by five and you get 53 miles for a ten spot, not much but drive one and you'll see its worth it.

Not especially mate. Combination of can't be arsed and WOO-HOO!!! driving really. 
Will do more at a steady 60-70, but when do you do that?? Does around 120-150 on half a tank usually, had a run to Chester a while ago and did nearly 200 on half a tank but that was going very steady as it was lashing down.

Running a standard car with just a K&N . . . do a good mix of town and fast A road driving and running on Tesco 99 Octane (or Optimax or BP Super makes no difference) I get 300 miles to a tank full (before the fuel warning light comes on). Tons better than my old BMW 530i but the temptation to floor it every given opportuniy is just too much! Most I've ever dared do was 350 miles on a tank but was definitely running on fumes!
