I ragged that honda at full throttle everywhere i went which was why it eventually died on me. I reckon on average i'm about 60 to 70% better off in this than i was in that, given the performance of this compared to that .... i can't and won't moan.
Just so we're clear here, 3/4 of 4 is 3 times better NOT 4 times better.
I am not and will not dispute that the LCR is faster than a Tdi and i'm quite sure you can get reasonable mpg from anything, what you can't say in all honesty is that IF you use the performance in the LCR that your consumption is 28 to 30mpg.
Going from what I came from, i get at least double the economy and far more performance.
As for me being sarky, no worse than you
