If you gentle, the 180 can be kind to the wallet. But it also has its dark fun side, give it some welly and the wallet goes ouch, but your mouth goes "SMILE"

Don't get me wrong here - you don't need fancy exhausts to love the sound of the car. It helps - but they sound great anyway. The tank I did wasn't frustrating - it was a challenge that I gave myself.

The next one was the opposite - I got about 21 -

Bottom line is that you don't get a 180 for economy - but if you need it to be frugal - it can be. Just knowing what it'll do or can sound like is enough for some people without having to drive it hard all the time.
