Could anyone give me a rough idea on fuel consumption differences between a S3V6 and S3V8. Sorry to be so basic but my head is trying to weigh a lot of things up!!!

HarryW said: Not worked out the consumption, it would probably frighten me but seeing as its only used as a toy I don't think I've got the best out of it's economy features .
Normally put £15 - £20 for a 50 mile weekend blat which probably works out anywhere from 10 - 15 mpg I did say my driving was for fun didn't I

Seriously though, when I picked the car up and did a normal journey from York down to the south coast it was doing (rough estimate at the time) about 24 mpg cruising at 70/80 ish


10-15 to the gallon - you need to take it out of reverse andd try it going forwards
