    whats the big deal about petrol consumtion!

    if you drive like your granny going to the shops, you will have good consumtion.

    if you drive like a hoon it will be bad!

    why would you buy a car like the FTO and not drive with some spirit

    Your fuel consumption is dictated primarily by the way YOU drive.

    obviously fuel consumption is dictated a lot by the way you drive, but im talking about driving normally.. some cars drink and some dont

    and if i wanted to buy an echo (which i don't) then i would buy one.. so dont make stupid statements


    but thankyou to all the people who provided constructive info :)
