Thinking about tHe darkside k1 to focus rs

[Smee]

dont stop start i do 35 mile each way to work. of which 80% is spent at 60mph 15% at 75% and the last 5% skipping through the traffic in norwich city centre.

cruise controle at 68 to 70mph i get indicated 38 to 40 mpg. not sure what they truely is but the miles to litre to refill it always between 33 to 37mpg per tank. average is 35 showing on my app

Cruising at 60 MPH does give a good return, its a shame they dont have 7 gears.

I only get average 27.9 mpg on a tank. My commute is 10 miles each way mostly motorway so 26 is not far off. I give it some beans when I can as well

When I used to cane mine it coule be as little as 12mpg with stage 2 plus. Normal town driving is high 20's low 30's and motorways could get 40's if I stuck to 65mph

If I managed to get more than 30 mpg average I think I'd get rid of the car. Definitely not be using my K1 in the way I intended when I bought it
Not quite ready for worying about miles per gallon yet, hence the plan to get a Focus RS

the RS will be the better car to drive i am sure than a k1, if its something you have set your mind on and will regret if you don't go out and buy then do it

thats the reason why i am looking at a k1 in a few months, don't do the miles and really want one and know if i don't go out and buy one then i will regret it

the RS interior from the earlier pics on this thread does not look that much of an improvement over the leon imo, problem is the leon seats look awesome and i have fallen in love with them and would swing it for me on interiors
