    I can normally tell if I am driving to fast once people clench onto the seat or the door handle, I love it, the fear in their eyes xD

    Its currently on just under 26mpg but thats cos I mainly do short journeys which arent really the cars strong point, it'll happily sit on the motorway at 90 and give me ~45/50mpg...

    it aint that fast, it'd take much longer to get to America due to the trip computer saying 7mpg when u give it major welly.... I'd only get about 450 miles out of a tank
