Turbo will suck fuel, there is no way out. What engine is in the Doka? My best ever millage was in Mexico, a good 25mpg (Avr. speed around 55mph). Average comming back was about 22-23, my engine is very good on fuel consumption. When Sylvie is driving, i never hit 20... he he he. Top speed recorded (with Sylvie again) 143kph (89mph) At some point, in Mexico again, Hans SVX got better millage than a stock 2.1L.
