I once had a peugeot 207 turbo and my old clio sport kicked its ass in every front with outstanding mileage

I also currently have an N52 130i and is better that the 2.0 ecoboost taurus i have as a company car. That thing drinks petrol like mad and even trying harder it wont give more than 25mpg whereas my N52 marvel does almost 30 if I care.

So all that bs about mpg is just inflated numbers as real world fuel economy numbers are very bad for FI engines.
Definitely. Can't wait to see the real world fuel economy on these cars. That'll be a nice laugh.
