Just done a full tank, averaged 36mpg, not bad at all. Few rattles as you'd expect, and it's not an easy car to drive around town and small streets, but comes alive when giving it some on the back roads

No electric faults yet which must be a miracle

bloody hell.

My Mx5 is getting 30mpg if I drive like a granny on the motorway. Normal tanks are 27mpg. haha.

I'd hate to be driving an mx5 to get 27mpg! I get 30mpg average in the r26.

Top cars.

I've had 3 172's and just bought a 4th as a track car. Unreal MPG for a 2.0.

Never had any real problems with any. Terrible gearboxes though.
