Well in a bike it'll give you 45+mpg touring and 30+mph on a sunday afternoon blast.

I would have thought that in a car you should get an average 30+ mpg. Which aint bad considering the performance

My blade seems to be doing about 20 MPG ish. Does anybody know if this is significanlty low?

Cheers

Who gives a f*ck!! It's always gonna be less then ANYTHING else with that kind of performance.

I get around 10-20mpg on track in my blade, and about 30mpg on the road when blasting around.
However, my friend in his Megablade got around 50mpg with a 3.19 diff and 185/70 13" wheels when going down to Le-Mans last year!!

I agree jasper but my dad was trying to compare it to his old turbo technics 4x4 sierra which he thought would do better mpg but I didn't agree!! thanks for proving right!!

If you are only getting 20mpg on the road - unless you have some fantastic roads for all your driving I'd think it was a little on the low side. as ChrisGamlin Says(and i think i did) these engines shouldgive 45-50mpg touring and 30+ on the road

Jon Ison - Have you ever bothered to work it out in your beast?
