Not that you'd get much from a 600cc engine in a car, although it did have a turbo :lol:
IDK , I had an aircooled 600c car Citroen Dyane , would cruise all day at 70 and still return 59+ mpg even fully laden !

the dyane was to the 2cv what the metro was to the mini, it tried to replace it but was itself suceeded by the car it tried to replace. (hope this is all worded right)
But how long does a dyane take to achieve 60, thats why i prefer the visa was because it had an xud.

That there yellow '6, I used to see one or two like that around Leicestershire - I think they were company colours, some kind of cleaning/service company.
