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

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!!

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?
