I remember doing a 'burn out' at traffic lights (on a private road) in a brand new hired focus. The car was surronded by & filled with so much smoke I couldn't see a thing & had to sit there waiting for what seemed ages till I could see the lights again.

I can understand what you are saying, but I don't think it is that.
My CC uses less fuel too!
So, i'm happy anyway

I remember the first courtesy car i had (the roundy shape Micra after the angular box one) was returned minus 4th and 5th gear. Partially my fault, but im sure it was on its way out anyway!
