"32.9mpg? For a freaking super-sportscar?"
Exactly!! To put it into perspective my M5 can JUST hit 30Mpg under granny driving conditions. On a 200Mile drive on the motorway I will average about 25Mpg over the whole journey....If I add in a couple of "Boot it away from the tailgaiting Audi when the traffic in front clears" moves that will be in the teens...On a recent jaunt to the countryside (similar driving roads that the test of the i8 was on, and I am guessing similarly aggressive driving ;) ) I returned home with an average of 8 MPG (and a mahooosive grin on my face).
33Mpg whilst being tested by a couple of yobbos with lead feet on empty country roads is a damn find achievement...especially considering the darling child of the eco world (the prius) would have struggled to keep the MPG in the 30s under the same conditions, and that is no where close to being a sports car.
