    Saxo was about the same, but shite on motorways.

    1.8 Eunos Roadster (MX5) - 33mpg driving very conservatively on motorways, 30mpg round town, mid 20s on track. Standard engine, so 130bhp.

    It's probably more than that tbh We did Nurburgring and back from home, plus 4 laps and a bunch of driving around, so call it 1000 miles, on 4 tanks of fuel. I wasn't running boost really at the ring (5psi). So call it 40 litres x 4 = 160 litres, or 31 gallons. 1000/31 = 32mpg - average

    Mapped correctly, off boost even high powered 106/saxo's should return decent fuel economy if driven calmly.

    2000 (90bhp standard vtr) newman ph2 cam, rallye inlet, 4/2/1, decat, made 115bhp on rollers.

    I average between 70-100 miles off £20 of 99 octane @ £1.39 per litre.

    This can however drop massively depending on how heavy your foot is:-)

    Is this ok?

    Pretty much a full tank's worth of being sat on the motorway at 50. Admittedly it was mostly with the roof down and lights up.

    My VTR with a KN induction kit and decat (still with the middle silencer and backbox, not sure if that makes it any better) will do around 30mpg around town probs 35 or maybe a little more if you very carful on the motorway doing like 65, but if you put your foot down you can watch the gauge drop.
