I dream of 30mpg

did some round town blasting yesterday, only about 10 miles but was horrified when I looked at trip computer

you ready for this

9.2mpg

Well you shouldn't be blasting around in town now should you?!

haha what on earth do you drive?

The best I've ever done is get our civic (the 2.2 diesel) from 60 to mid 30s with some reyt good abuse

YAY! An Alfa. *and a pretty one too*
Boo! Fuel made from Satans wee.

I did expect the fuel type to raise a few comments, but these days for the company car driver it really is the only choice.

The 3.2 V6 Q4 Brera would be the ideal choice of the range, they dont even cost that much (still less than I could have leased a 320D for!) but the BIK rate is just crazy, before you even get to the RIDICULOUS fuel consumption!

The 2.4 5 pot is one of the worst engines I've had the misfortune to drive. I had a 2.4JTD Spider when my R32 was off being fixed and I absolutely hated it.

Reliable it wasn't either what with the oil pump having had to be replaced. it only had 4000 on the clock when I gave it back.

Good call on the 159, I think it's a stunning looking car.
