Its quite depressing that most of the young blokes I work with seem to be more keen on MPG than MPH. I remember when I was 17 and everyone seemed to want the fastest/sportiest little motor they could afford.
Now it seems Economy is something they all consider.
One of them posted a pic on facebook of his new Fabia VRs Mpg.He sold his Civic Sport which was a much nicer car, because even though hes sinking £8,000 on the Fabia, he thinks its worth it because of the Economy.
Living on an RAF base half of the lads here barely do any mileage. I know 2 people who bought Fiestas on finance for their first cars. One of them worked out about £14,000... he has done about 7,000 miles in 1 year. But because its cheap to run he seems to overlook the massive payments.
Maybe this is an isolated case but Boy Racers dont seem so prominent these days.

. Bragging about how fast your car can get to 100mph is a lot more interesting than how far you can get on a tank.
