They are heavy on fuel Baz, when i had mine i used to have a company fuel card so wasn't bothered but when i had to pay for my own it was bloody hard on the pocket, 18 mpg (flogged), even at 6 year ago prices. When the engine is pushing a car of 600kg as opposed to 1300kg it should be lighter on fuel though.
I found mine to be very good on oil though, i think this was more of a problem with older Rx-7 engines. But you do certainly need to keep an eye on it just to be sure.
Will be fun though....Andrew
