But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Average speed 59mph
A trip from Cumbria to darn sarf and back

In my old Jag it would be 21mpg

These GTI's are ace.

(I go at a boring pace on motorways because there is no fun in going fast on M ways, that's reserved for the country roads round about)

Impressive. Good to hear, now fuel is costing me £1.25 a litre!  :shocked:
