When my "Mr. Hyde" gets the better of me I can occasionally blast down an on-ramp because it has 220 hp in a 2750 lb. car and I can STILL net that 45 mpg figure per tank. Really enjoying this website and all the great ideas.  |
I am so jealous - great mpg but still fast and handles like a slot car... I'd love to have a JCW Clubman for my DD, but that $30k+ price is too big a pill to swallow. I figure it would take me about 9 years to offset the price difference from my MS3.
