1788 miles, 2/3 on the motorway at 80+, not being very careful elsewhere. The Scudo did 37 1/2 MPG overall, not too bad for a FB.

That's not bad FT, little wonder Eurotaxi was so popular.

With it's wedge front i imagine it's not too bad aerodynamicals wise.

I've heard if you lift your knees up you can get a scudo/eurotaxi even closer to the bumper in front, the knock on effect is saving another 2mpg through drafting ;-)

There will be better qualified people than me on here but I think the bluff rear negates any frontal streamlining.
