Guys you are all getting too worked up about this mpg malarkey - nobody on this earth buys a car with a 3.0 V6, 4.2 or 5.0ltr V8 Supercharged engine with fuel economy in mind - if they were worried about that then they would be buying a Suzuki Ignis 1.3 which is the UK’s most fuel sipping SUV. You buy a Supercharged Sport for the fun factor or to avoid having to drive through slow moving city traffic in a car with a DPF that blocks up at the blink of an eye. There is a price to pay for having a big capacity high performance engine in an SUV and it is fuel consumption and high VED due to the high CO2 emissions.
It will be interesting to see what the new VED rates for the S/C and SVR will be after re-rating for new Worldwide common rating system as my 1.5ltr Turbo 3 cylinder engined PHEV was re-rated from £10 a year up to the £140 a year band in April after it was re-rated and the John Cooper Works Edition Minis have been withdrawn from sale and no orders are being taken until BMW has re-engined to 2.0 engine in that to reduce the emissions as the VED is now so high....... the last of the big engined Minis are only available now from what dealers have in their showrooms or as used cars. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
