 I regularly see 350 miles to a tank, and thats not granny driving everywhere either.
Amazing engines

Power to weight. Engines meant for pulling cavaliers and such like around all day, so its laughing when it gets put in a car that weights just under a ton. Alot less labour on the engine thus better fuel economy!

I'm yet to settle down properly in mine yet, not abusing it as it's been sat for 2 months unused, but am putting my foot down every so often
Got 135 miles to around 1/2 a tank in the first 3 days of using it which didn't seem great Will see once I'm using it more and more if it settles down, I'm sure it will. Will probably get it a service soon-ish anyway.
