    Yes good point, but as cars get older their fuel efficiency tends to drop as a car gets olders. So a newer and heavier Citroen C1 may be better than an AX.
    I don't agree with that statement. It might be true for some cars because some people neglect maintenance on old cars. As the piston rings wear then eventually there's a loss in compression which will lead to a loss in efficiency, but before that happens the loosening up aids efficiency.
    Happy chappy

    I bet I can get more than 50mpg out of your MINI ( which isn't a Mini at all really );)

    I don't have a MINI ;)

    And I'm glad the MINI I don't have isn't a 'proper' Mini - I can't fit my feet in the footwell of the originals! Damn my wide size 12's! :rotfl:
