What mpg can be achieved driving like a pussy?

Also I have seen some people have put a 'VXR turbo' on which is more stable? Are the standard turbos prone to fucking up?

Cheers

threads on here daily about these now lol

standard turbos are quite prone to fucking up usually around 50-60k from my experiance
driving like a gay they say over 30mpg is done but i rarely saw that from either of mine

yes jambo but putting it like that makes it sound pretty bad, where as in fact m3's are known for bein ok on petrol info regarding mpg on a m3 usually states 30 mpg and a i dont think 30mpg is bad for a turbocharged 2.0 engine/sure focus st is no better or a cupra r etc etc

i only get 20-30mpg from my xe corsa driving carefully and the engine is pulling couple of hundred kg's less than cav sri

my mates 1.8 mondeo with 115bhp only averages 35mpg so lookin at it like that its actually ok
