Got to confess, wasn't sure how good 100mpg was, but just worked out that converts to 2.83L/100km or 35.4km/L

Thats crazy good!!!

Now this is genuinely a: LOL

Your right, new tyres after just one run, always changing body kits... Ugh At least the servicing part would be fun!

35k/l is mind mubing really. Maybe a little optomistic on the 100,000 units a year though.. But time will tell.
