TULIP does £45 tank to 247 miles!!!!!! and thats normally long runs,

Oh and shes an auto with the underpowered B200e engine, with jetex exhaust and cone filter. I do cry at times when I go to the local garage!!!

Roll on the engine and gearbox swap :)

That's what the current owner has reported. Do bear in mind that I don't think this engine has EVER seen over 4k in 205k miles, so I think it's fair to say that that MPG is recorded doing some pretty seriously granny-esque driving.

cheers

What about James' 'near newark'??

Is this some rare 300 series accessory we don't know about?
