Cool


Ola Dudes,

well as the day draws closer, i find myself becoming giddy like a kid in a sweet shop.

i really cannot wait to get my scooby, i do have a quick question though, all of your input i will take with great thanks.

I currently drive a 2.5 V6 GSI Vectra, and i am getting around 25mpg to the gallon, i would say i drive quick, but not mental like. this is a much heavier car and of course has larger engine. current output is around the 200 BHP mark.

while i'm sure my scoob is a lighter car, and small engine size, how much more fuel am i likley to go through, when i get my scooby do.

thanks to anyone who finds the time to reply,


Kind Thanks


Regards

What car is it - which model, year etc?

Aside from fuel - start saving - you'll only want to do "things" to it!

Piece of string question, although if you enjoy yourself at all it's going to be somewhere between the teens and low twenties. Also don't forget the octane booster you're going to need, unless of course the car's already been remapped for UK fuel.
