I think that these things are quite easy to drive efficiently IF you can resist the urge to drive them like they are supposed to be driven. I can easily get 36 imperial mpg combined but shifting at 2k rpm ain't no fun. Usually I get around 32.

I wonder what you guys are doing to get 20 mpg, shifting at the redline in every gear?

I guess I do enjoy driving it + my other cars a v10 M5 that does 11mpg so 22 feels great!

I get around 30mpg running around locally, but it's not proper stop start traffic like you get in S.E. England where I lived until 20 years ago. Hooning, mid 20s. On track at Silverstone I got...
