Yeah it can eat the petrol. One thing I noticed aswell, its all fine and economical when its under 3k but as soon as you go over it just drops striaght off. It doesnt seem to get less the more you go over, it just seems to drop completely off. No gradual transition. Well it does with me anyway. But to tell you the truth I am either driving economically or driving up to 6k on the revs. But lately I have been trying to keep it restrained untill it gets warmed up. Problem is it doesnt seem to get warmed up that quickly anymore. Used to take about 10 mins (so the last dash to work could be done at full pelt) now I am at work before it gets warmed up. I dont think its any colder, the opposite in fact (atmosphere).
