• Volkswagen Eos - Experience of the VW Eos 22 Nov 2010 (Forum)
    Actually, I admit that Mr Statham may have already had me thinking along that line:- http://www.audipedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/transporter-3-20081103101900525_640w.jpg   The thing that has surprised me is that the fuel economy on the short runs isn't significantly better than the 3.0 Z4, the computer seems to reset each time I drive it, on a short cold start run to work I get about 31mpg, the Z4 averages about 27mpg. Once it's warm however and on a slightly longer run you really notice the difference, it's easy to get the computer to read over 40mpg.
