Tbf though, 150 miles isn't much out of any tank. If anyone else were to say what Deano did it would go unnoticed.

Nope, not at all, I dont do many miles & could easilly live without a car I was bothered about it.
My ///M's pretty good with 23 round town & 32 on a run anyway I thought, not as bad as some.
Also high oil prices keep me in work so I couldnt care less

Same as you, maybe I should just buy an Evo
I did manage 180 miles with quarter of a tank left, and I was really impressed. So boring though so my 50 miles to half a tank tonight cheered me up.

According to the Instant Consumption on dad's M3 it did better at 80mph than 70mph.
And guys, I only worry about fuel consumption because I wouldn't be able to afford £50 to 150 miles, fun or not. When you're on a budget and cars aren't your hobby, fuel consumption does matter.
If you're not on a budget then yeah, you enjoy the finer things in life, including nice cars.

31 isn't half bad from a V6. I hovered around the 20 mark when I borrowed my uncles V6 jag for a week in the summer...

just worked mine out to be 28mpg
that is a lot lower than i expected and that is using optimistic figures!
doesnt bother me though. i get close to 300miles a tank, and dont feel like i am going to the petrol station as often as i see the gf so dont notice it to a point of concern!
i know it will be dropping dramatically in the coming months, with the top down (93/K reg MX5 1.6) i will be hitting the loud pedal just to hear the exhuast!! 
never worked out what the Nova gets well not recently, i used to get 300miles in that when i passed my test as it was my only car used to cost less than £30!
