purple highline monster 0 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 fuel economy?????? forget it dude...just drive the rims off it and fill it up when it tells ya...if you want "economy" get a smart car really though it is how ya drive it...i can get somewhere between 15 and 38 mpg depending how heavy my shoe on the right foot is, if you go over 80mph for gret distances then you will get about 300 miles to £40 worht of fuel, getting rid of the fuel is a blast though i have even taken up vw`s new adverts advice...been out "just driving at night" a few times lately...chills me out Link to post Share on other sites

You can get 35mpg+ on normal motorway driving or 30mpg round town (when the engine is warmed up). Link to post Share on other sites
