Yeah was thinkin the same thing... I east in a morning, west in the evening..
Seen a few LCRs on the road at leeds area - red one, black one and a mint yellow one.
I'll keep em peeled for a silver FR

A1, think I have seen you Andy, your the one doing 56mph and constantly staring at your OBC are you not? Newark - Donny.
well by gosh you must have plenty fun driving!
do you have restless nights when you have to accelerate?

I'll give you a medal if you manage an average of 40MPG in an LCR. And after I've given you the medal.... I'll ask you to teach me how you do it! I could make a fortune selling that info to other LCR drivers

Hmmm dunno about 40MPG mate.
I do 50 miles, all motorway each day..
At VERY best i get 32MPG - thats sat at 65 all the way there.
Usually its a 90MPH (on private motorways of course) and that returns 27/28.
If you are wanting 40MPG, dont go for a Cupra or a Cupra R

huh ??
I am referring to the point
"I'm considering a petrol. I should be able to afford it and with my driving style should still get 40mpg when I want to."
surely a petrol means a petrol ??

No, does not prove anything, are you still considering a petrol? 600 a week would see a big rise in cost would it not?

olaf:
I know the original post was about diesels, thats why i posted a thankyou for letting me know what the spec of a diesel FR was....
The conversation then evolved onto AndyVTR saying he may get a petrol car and still be able to get 40MPG when he wanted to. The MPG for his FR diesel was quoted at 55MPG so i am not at cross purposes. (just to clear it up)
Hence I said, dont get a LCR
AndyVTR - i'd stick with the diesel if i were you. The petrol costs are a nightmare, and thats on 100 mile a day round trip, similar to yours....
300 miles on a full tank (£50) is just mad.

Regardless of how you drive, petrol engines always use more fuel than the equivalent diesel engine. Plus, if you drive around all day at low revs, then you'll be better off with a car that delivers it's power from low revs - i.e a diesel.
Why do you drive a petrol then?!
I'm not having any fun at the moment trying to do 650+ on one tank where I could when it was just 600. I go out a bit more now through the week now I'm single...
I'll see how bad it is and if it cripples me go for a mk2 FR TDi...
