Well, I wouldn't want to actually get caught would I? hehe. No, today was my very first Coop experience, turbo experience, engine bigger than 1.4 etc...so LOTS of FUN!

@daithi28 a cut for your post:
Having a degree in Economics, I can categorically state that it’s a false economy to drive a Fiat Coupé sedately, as the marginal monetary saving made in burning less fuel during the course of the drive is significantly outweighed by the loss in excitement and sense of occasion. Or in layman’s terms, driving sedately on a 20 min drive would save you 25p in fuel, but you would have happily paid 40p for the experience and excitement of a 20 min spirited drive in the 1st instance. You lost 40p’s worth of fun to save 25p.
Absolutely brilliant and FACT lol. now everytime i have over 1/4 tank of juice, im going have that running through my mind hahaha

Coupe's being so cheap these days, may as well thrash the truck out of it. When it goes pop....just buy a new one. Simples

As fast as possible with conditons and traffic always taken into consideration (joking of course ) . Part of the reason for the "pants" fuel consumption I think although I may be wrong

I usually take it easy and just tootle about on the wave of torque, too lazy to change gear but occasionally i love to boot it in 2nd, what a killer gear and the 3rd gear/100mph is indeed true, on a private stretch of road of course officer
I'll be back Alor Blue Seat Leon FR 180 atm

What actually is the fuel consumption of a 20v Turbo (normal driving, and loving it driving?)

Spirited driving? 22 - 27 mpg in my 5-speed Scottie. Long distance cruising? 37 - 42 mpg in the 6-speed Moon. Tracking? 8 - 12 mpg (never past 4th gear, and NEVER in my cars; too scared of breaking them )

You lost 40p’s worth of fun to save 25p. ..... and a ticket to Thorpe Park will cost you £25. The second/third gear rush might cause a hole in the ozone layer but mother nature will have fixed this before the grin has been wiped off your face....

Part throttle acceleration in second gear? 2.9mpg... but you don't do it for very long!
Commuting - 60 miles each way, mix of motorway, dual carriageway, and single carriageway, with thirteen roundabouts, 32-33mpg (in a 20vt standard). Do you slow down for them roundabouts Neil! I must get about 10 mpg less than you Though I think I might still have a fuel leak (JTB fixed one under the bonnet) as it smells like a space shuttle launch when you park up and walk behind the car.

Mostly like I'm stuck in traffic once again. (Back in my day, kids would walk to school...) Otherwise, always off turbo, but with a VIS growl.

Driving the Coupe can be compared to sex.
A bit of foreplay to warm things up first, followed by passionate driving and then finally you take it easy.
However, unlike sex, make sure you don't start leaking any fluids. and also I tend not to lose interest in the coupe straight after and have a snooze beautifully put boys Do the words... boy racer help you understand my driving ways, am sorry to say I don't have many manners on the road, cut me up and I will have you, try race me and I will teach you a lesson, for a girl its not good I'am afraid porkypaul does try and mend my ways bless him but I love speed and the faster the car goes the better

Im not the slowest driver in the world,but on the roads even Theresa called me tame. Im more aware of other drivers and stones chipping my unchipped paintwork.
After rolling a new evo 7 5ish times followed by hitting a tree followed by several stitches and a fractured skull i no longer push the cars on the road.
Around the track it gets brutally murdered.
