What's the 180 like on the jungle juice? My dad has never really complained tbh, but was wondering what everyone else thinks? Some people say it's got a drinking problem!

Driven in a sensible manner you can get 30/32 mpg.Need to keep the revs below 3,000 for that though.

ive often wondered about that, i do about a 38 mile round trip every day ( i do 7 days in a row) and its not bad in the 110, usually about £30 per 7 days roughly. thats motorway driving.
the plan is to upgrade to the 180 maybe with my next car but the cost of petrol is the only worry

Hehe ... I used £37 (@ 93.9/L) of petrol in about 150 miles over the weekend. Not sure what the MPG is, but it's not good.
Usual would be 28-30MPG for the 'daily commute' when i drive rather more sedately.

all depends on how you drive it. On motorways if you gun it it fairly gets thru the juice. I just drove back from Gemmas down a windy A road, about 40 miles. I was at a fairly steady speed, cant say on a forum  and it wasnt bad at all. Its a lot better round town than i expected tbh. overall the difference to my zr120 isnt nearly as bad as i thought
