You'll love it i'm sure! Once the regular fill ups become a bit of a bore it's nice to know that you can achieve over 25mpg on a sensible trip . My friends are horrified but I think that's actually quite impressive for such a big engine.Truth be told though, it's often much worse because you're always loading the engine to hear the exhaust.
Enjoy, but you'll be back on here in a few months asking how you go about tuning it!

It's amazing, best noises are:
1. On cold startup - keep door open
2. The crack from the exhaust during redline gearchanges
3. Burbling and cracking on the over-run
I've averaged 18mpg in nearly 2 years / 18k miles.
Best 27mpg on a 140 mile drive (totally boring)
Worst 9.1mpg over 24 miles x-country and nailing it (totally exciting)
