Unfortunately we do not go until the 15th. However 2 yrs ago we were in Lindos for Easter and had a great time. Nice to see the way it was celebrated, singing, processions. Attended a christening also and the overall experience was a food and drink bonanza.:)
excellent. have fun! mind you i like how we have basically the same MPG on fuelly.

Looking at the size of the Alfa G with a 1.4 petrol engine I am not surprised by the MPG. The car with Auto TCT box is a good drive and of course I like to DRIVE a car.

I have done some figures in between fills with the Premium Fuels 98 > 99 ON

but can honestly say not seen much difference in the results either MPG or Performance.

nice you dont feel the extra power? Yes i basically have the same 1.4 as you but yours is turbocharged = ) My mpg would be higher if i wasn't driving in town all the time. If i am at 33 MPG right now it will probably go up to 35-36 once i change my tires for skinnier eco tires as the 195's i have on are simply too fat for such a small and light car. if i was driving in countryside roads and following the speed limit i would be in the low 40's mpg.

Ahmett, I'm sure you have been unlucky on the Dualogic scene. Our household is now in the 4th 500 with dualogic and only ever had one issue which was resolved very quickly under warranty.

As an aside, looking forward to some Greek sunshine mid April. Staying with friends in Lindos (Rhodes) for 10 days. Must like it as it will be our second visit.(y)

bring plenty of cash!!:D

oh and mind you, changing your car every year or so means you dont have to worry about dualogic issues as they tend to happen 2 years into ownership onwards. I first started having issues after i passed the 18,000 mile mark = )
