Yeah, really. Supposedly it can get 1-4 mpg, but not in this little course. Its only got a 6.6 liter engine, a opposed two stroke inline 6 diesel making 240 hp. I thought the engine would have been a LOT bigger than that. The
Dank is a FV 432.
Very interesting driving experience. It had the typical two sticks, but their resting position was full forward, they only acted to brake the individual tracks, it does not cut drive power to one side when you go to turn. Its got a gas pedal! To turn properly, you have to give it a healthy amount of gas, and pull the corresponding stick back fairly hard to turn. The seat is height adjustable so the driver's hatch can close, or you leave it open and stick your head out.
