Lots of comments about MPG, what about Smiles per gallon. Surely a bit more right foot is good?

Agreed

When i get my TDI 130 down to 17mpg around the ring or uk tracks i do smile more than when i get 60 mpg on the way home but my smile comes back again when i eventually visit the filling station.

I like the sound of that!! To get 17mpg you must be using plenty of right foot!!

I averaged 9mpg during 30 laps of the Nurburgring in my then Focus ST (tuned to 270hp)

There were plenty of smiles

Also partly why I have gone back to a petrol, 1.8TSi Superb, from diesel VRS

Again stories of more smiles, 9mpg sounds like much good use of the right foot, and at the ring very legal. Everybody has got to smile about that:))))
