To be fair why buy a 2.8 and worry about the fuel it uses when the cost of fuel in the UK is the 6th highest per gallon in europe at the moment? Driving a VR6 for 10mins will surely coke the thing up over time as it'll never warm up, surely your not going to enjoy the car driving it around at 2,000 rpm in 5th worrying about how much driving it is going to cost you. I'm lucky if I get 20 to the gallon on the way to work, however mpg wasn't at the top of the spec sheet when I walked into VW!!
