Due to cash for clunkers, and the fact that not a single dodge 1/2 pickup truck could be had under that deal(I wanted a 5.7 Club Cab 2wd or 4wd) a 09 Mini Cooper S 35-40 with good gas(New Jersey and south, I don't know why) and highway speed(80 or under), 30-32 driven racecar like..and up here with winter crap gas....I think it got 18 at Epping power shifting to a severly traction limited 15.3's over 14 or 15 1/4 mile break in runs. Launching a stick FWD with run flats is not easy, but more fun than a 6 speed 5.7 RT Challenger with goodyears.
The turbo is better on gas than the blower.
