Was having the usual car talk banter with a colleague today and he ended up betting me a months wages that a standard S2 would never break 25mpg and i reckon it would break 30. Do i win or pay up?

I regularly got 28+ in mine, with the best ever at 33.1.

Best: 32.something on a motorway run, resetting the computer when already up to speed.
Typical: it's saying 24.something at the moment which is a standard mix of motorways, town driving and back roads. (Ok, perhaps there's a little more backroads than normal... )
Worst (over some distance - it's easy to get 5.0 mpg up momentarily in stop start traffic): see here
Ck.Shocked, exhausted, hosed, bushed, dumped, chipped, mounted, filtered, gauged, packed, intermittantly wiped and braked. I mean broken. Now, about the car...

My wager is based on the figures quoted on s2central.net. The discussion was based on whether or not an S2 Avant would make a sensible daily driver for someone that just can't stomach diesels anymore but does around 80 - 90 motorway miles a day. Does anyone have any real time figures that they have compiled?Old Stuff Reborn.

...and the other end of the economy scale?
I always work the rally car out at 5mpg on stage and 20mpg on the linked road sections. Makes all calculations easy except the jerry cans are 20 litre cans! DOH!!
