I'd feel bad if I let you cling to my 32mpg claim; I've only had that on trips where I empty a tank (motorways and duals all the way). Day to day (esp. your 10 mile trips), you'll be at the 28 mark.

I'm afraid I'm going to p*** you off, as its the SE Sport I have, plus Xenons and the premium stereo. I was a bit worried it would look over the top with all the skirts and stuff, but I was pleased when I got it.

Actually thinking of the spec on mine reminds me of a minor niggle - You pay £250 extra for a better stereo, and whilst it sounds fantastic, you can't attach any kind of MP3 player to it. That's not unique to the premium sound thing, I think it's a 'feature' of all the earlier S40 stereos (it's been fixed for MY07 I think).

Happy hunting.
