True, on roads, tracks...
True, on roads, tracks, frozen lakes and in remote deserts I often test cars whose tanks have been filled by the manufacturers. But I also spend time driving around in a wide variety of gas-guzzling and frugal models which run on fuel I"ve paid for. It"s impossible to estimate how much I"ve personally spent over the decades. But the last thing I"m prepared to do is beat myself up over the fact. And although it"s entirely up to you, my humble advice is that you shouldn"t feel bad either.
Drivers wanting maximum...

While Fiat has already released official studio pictures of the Stilo replacement, these are the first to show the Bravo on the road. And with its distinctive front and rear lights and neat rect÷angular grille, the model certainly stands out from the crowd.
Engine options will include a base 90bhp 1.4-litre petrol unit as well as a brand new 1.4 T-JET turbo developing 120bhp or 150bhp. Drivers wanting maximum economy can also choose 120bhp and 150bhp versions of Fiat"s Multijet diesel. The Bravo will be launched at a special event in Rome in Italy this month.
Meanwhile, engineers are giving a unique insight into the new Fiat"s development on the Internet. The text is in Italian, but the www.quellichebravo.it website has more images of the Bravo.
