Nice numbers for the fuel usage.
Some play it safe on the merry-go-round, others go for the thrills of the roller-coaster.

I have a joke for you. I have a prediction that you are going to walk into a bar, my prediction was wrong and your wallet is gone.

Must admit I was with wobbly on that one, my first thoughts too.
However I imagine those figures are based on it never seeing past 3000rpm.

If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you finally have enough horsepower.

I would say most cars quoted figures this would be the case?petey wrote:Must admit I was with wobbly on that one, my first thoughts too.

Yes, however in a 600hp monster it's not really fair is it? The moment you start to rev out the gears you could probably watch the gauge drop.
Whereas in your family sedan or little hatchback it is less important how much you floor or rev it.

If you are worrying about the fuel usage you shouldn't be driving the car..Current Muscle cars still don't seem as nice as the old one's, maybe it is just me.

So my point still stands. That fuel usage rating is a waste if space.
