    Hey, Tunes, you are the man, what a challenge you have laid down. 590k is pretty good, but i bet I can out-do that!!
    This is quite a funny subject really 'cos i would have thought that VR4 owners wouldn't care less about fuel use. I was wrong in thinking I was the only one! The funniest thing is guys and gals skiting about how bad their car gussles gas..

    I've only had my VR4 for four weeks or so, but so far INSERT INTO post VALUES (assuming as others have said I don't plant my right foot too often) I get about the same milage between fillups INSERT INTO post VALUES (and about the same cost for gas +/- $5) as I did from the Mazda MX-6 v6 INSERT INTO post VALUES (naturally aspirated); which considering we're talking a difference of two turbo-chargers, 1/2 litre, and about 120hp isn't too bad.

    My brother's 1.8 Lancer MR definately does tend to get a little further out of a tank than me though INSERT INTO post VALUES (funny that).

    Hey demon, I'm only just down the coast from you, close enough to really give that economy run a go one sunny day!

    Go hard demon!

    Regardless of what car a person drives i think that most are aware and concious of fuel economy. Basic common sense with regards to money i guess.
