It does achieves impressive gas mileage, but for 0.2L/100KM or hell even 0.5L/100 KM, I have learn my lesson and get the 1.2L for the higher top speed (in holland the speed limit is 130 km/hour; to Germany, most of the autobahn don't have speed limit). 1.0L has the power to bring the car up to 145 km/hour ... NOT even 1 km/hour more. When the wind blows from the front (at that speed you continually hitting walls of wind) 1.0L will be using almost 10L/100KM, no kidding! and the speed will continually varies. I heard the 1.2L CAN actually achieve 160 km/hour
I made a new thread to discuss slowness http://mirageforum.com/forum/showthr...2632#post22632

If I was able to get an extra 3mpg without doing anything I would love it 1 mpg or less I'd prefer the 1.2 I think (because its more common)
