well yeh i kane the crap outa it. according to my principal i reach speeds
well over 80kph between the 2 speedumps at our skool that are about 40mtrs
apart. wanker. if i did get it to 80 the car would get hammered come the
speed hump.
but yeh we did a milage consuption test and i had to drive it like an old
fart (which sucked ass) and it only got 26mpg driving it like miss daisy on
a sunday. so i dont get it.. if a 15 second car is getting 30mpg.
ohwell. tom what consuption approx u think u would get with the Z20e? did u
test it?
