Yea, mine starts getting realy inefficient when I go fast.
My estimates are about 25L/100km or 10mpg

Not sure if I would consider the MR2 so austere. |

Kinda, I mean I do try to drive somewhat efficiently, but on just about every tank of gas so far I have reached speeds that would have gotten me in troubble in any other country.

Then it becomes harder to get even close to those 40 MPG which are achievable while driving in a not so spirited way, isn't it? |

So far there hasn't been a tank of gas where I didn't reach 200 km/h at least once.

Most of the cars I drove didn't reach 200km/h, and even some cars which could go that fast I drove in a more conservative way. Too many speed traps around here...
