Who gives s fcuk about mpg

Most people on a normal salary, its not a primary when looking at other areas of a performance car is concerned but I for one would take into account a car with similar or more performance returning 50+ mpg v 30mpg based on both been petrol What's not to give a hoot about?? Enjoy more miles and smiles for less in petrol when that's never going to get cheaper Dam next there will be performance dervs everywhere where lots of car minded drivers driving them.....why because of mpg LOL And of course if it adds to it doing your bit for the environment DG

The good news is that engine responds pretty well to thinner oils. It's the engine VW use to test for fuel efficiency. We have seen gains of 5 % by moving to a 0W-20 oil.

In this case it's true. We've even had to dye it so end users don't confuse it.
