after all It was only a standard 2003 WRX with 225Bhp so bound to struggle

i did think it may have been closer, as both PTW's are around 160-170 per tonne

Speed bumps! Im well up for that!!!

Oh and to the person who said about MPG? You know you would be schocked to hear they are pretty much the same!

My Scooby takes £45-50 and does 200-220 miles

My X5 takes £90.01 and done 398 miles

And that was both around town and a little motorway driving.

Here is the beast...

The 4.4 is dog slow compared to the 4.8 though. Probably best sticking to racing diesel mondeos in it.
