Is that liquid yellow? Not seen many V6s in that colour, looks damn fine!


Also what clio is it you have? the 1.2s should do a bit more than that i think. My 182 can sometimes get 40 on a long run, but goes down to 28 around town. Still I didn't buy the thing for MPG

tbh, I think the 172/182 return pretty good mpg for a car of this sort. Over the course of a weeks normal driving I get around 34mpg on average. It can go to around 42mpg on the motorway if I'm careful.

How on earth do you manage that ?

My clio is a 1.4 Expression and I light with my right foot.

Mine has dropped into the high 20s now, it still has the common problem with the temp. sensor wiring being up the spout, hence running too rich.
