    Always best to consider the worst case! 40mpg is prob a safer bet than 55pmg as well - one of my friends has a Picanto (he knows nothing about cars :rolleyes:) and he reckons it struggles to get more than 45-50 on a long run. (thats MPH as well as MPG :rotfl:)
    Oh having said that they facelifted them fairly recently and tweaked the engine, so if you've an older one it won't be quite as good.

    But it's a Picanto for gods sake. It might not even make it down there.... and you'll be suffering from numb bum by the time you arrive :)

    They now come with a 7 year warranty, make no mistake it will get there and back OK.

    Are you suggesting it might take seven years to do that trip? :rotfl:
