damn... ask a simple q... and ya get a 3 page thread.... i'm sure i'll cry at the mpg (when I get my v6)... but hey i sounds like i'm gonna enjoy it! as for legal limit mpg... nonsense... i can pretty much bet none of us do it.... as for deprecitation... for 2nd hand buyers like me.. it works in our favour.. eg.. i'm hoping to pick up my galaxy tomorrow... y plate. 2.6 ghia auto, 100k miles.. for 4.5k!... now a similar diesel would cost 1500-2k more... so in 18months when i'm sure i'll be bored of it... it'd have worked out the same! anyways... here's to me hopefully picking up the car tomorrow/tues and to some fun motoring! :)
