PS I've also found that if you don't drive it you don't use any fuel. Genius!

you'll be cutting a hole out the floor and shuffling along flintstones style

But if you're gonna do that then what is the point in having it in the first place!!!

I had that feature in an old 1275GT Mini drilled out to 1400cc, not quite enough space to get a foot through but the floor was all drilled out. Was quite a nippy little thing

Its surprising how many other cars are less efficient and not really any better (RX8) or much slower but not really that much more efficient only 2/3MPG.

 

Also odd how you would dismiss an extra 2-3 mpg so readily when you are defending those who adapt there driving style to probably gain little more.

 

 

I am not dismissing, the point i am making is your often better off trying to save 2/3mpg in the current car than switch only to find you have saved 2/3mpg but alot quite a lot of performance i.e. your actually no better off ..and don't have the chance to go and have a blast when you want.

If I was getting a car which was "quite a lot slower" I'd be looking for a better gain than 2/3 mpg.

After fitting a plenum spacer and everything settling down, I am now averaging 1.5 mpg more.

No need to buy a new car, just pay £200 for a spacer in the Z

If i was to get something which did better MPG, I'd get a chipped old shape SEAT Leon TDi. Had the 1.8T and it was pretty rapid and the oil burner when chipped will give the same HP and more torque than the Cupra R petrol! Not half as fun to drive as the Zed, but if all you want is something quick in a straight line and good MPG, then thats a corker!
