Guy I work with has just bought a non supercharged one in the same colour, he was happy with his 300 and something bhp until he saw the figures for your old one. I was impressed that he managed 30mpg on the run down from Stoke.

Been to Wales a few times lately in the Monaro and the worst i was getting was 25mpg but mostly around 27mpg at outside lane of motorway speeds
