Mileage doesn't matter anyway, I can get V8 worthy fuel consumption numbers out of either of my 4 bangers as in 250km on a 65l tank for the WRX if I keep it on the boost. Even the Focus gets as little as 275km out of a tank downtown during winter. Either car can do 600km/tank if driven gently but what fun is that? The Focus got 700 something once.

Too bad Ashly isn't here to confirm but when we blasted across Montana in the Sube, and I mean BLASTED as in 200+kph for HOURS, you could actually SEE the needle of the fuel gauge move just like my 1977 Plymouth Fury V8 used to do.

Exactly right, for example, if I abuse the gas pedal in the Fusion, my gas mileage is crap, judicious use of the cruise control and sane driving on the highway and I'm pulling 9.5L/100 with the A/C on ;) (and that's a V6 with AWD)

Yeah I've seen the fuel needle take the backwards plunge, during the track weekend the needle scurried backwards like a crab trying to get out of a trap :ph34r:
