Same goes for the STi too though - don't think an STi of any description is an economical car because it's not.

My STi - when pushed.... has utterly shithouse fuel economy. As would a LS1/LS2.

It was worse when it was stock! 350kms to a tank tops.

TDi technology has got me curious though - huge torque with half the consumption.... gotta be a winner!
