Depends on the state of tune really. But to give you a rough idea my GT4 is putting out roughly 260 BHP and when it was my only car was costing about 50 - 60 quid a week in fuel (250-300 miles) Averaging 18mpg

That was driving it with a bit of restraint. You`ve also got to take into account that these cars handle exceptionally well and this is going to cost you in tyres. Servicing depends on whether you do it yourself or not. If your a bit of a hands on type then look at 35-40 quid for an oil change (Every 3000miles at the most, using decent oil) with a major service costing 150+ every 6K.

This is if you do it all yourself. If you get a garage to do it then shop around first. Or it`ll cost you an arm and a leg.

BE WARNED THESE CARS ARE ADDICTIVE.

They can be very damaging to your wallet. But the rewards justify it, in my case anyway. :D :D

[GT4 BOOSTER]

mines is pushing out 250ish bhp and is lightly mod'd, i'm getting 24mpg at the last check but if i get heavy footed and start using boost then it quickly drops. really should get round to re-mapping the top end properly
