My mate has had his Supercharged RRS since last September and he is getting 8mpg, he has a 45 mile journey to work each day and is having to fill up every other morning, costing him a fortune.
With our fuel prices he is putting in ?95 evey 48 hours, which is what $180?
He had 2 trips to London (110 miles) last month and his usual trek to work and his fuel bill alone was just over $3000!!

Problem he has is that he still owes nearly ?60k on it and his best bid is ?38k, so he is stuck with it. This is only a car for countries like America where fuel is cheap.

Awesome motor though!
