35i is plenty quick but 50i is a completely different beast in power. You definitely don't "need" the much power, but it's there when you "want" it.

R33, I am not sure that's accurate, I couldn't get more than 19mpg on 35i lol. I am sure I can at least obtain 15 on 50i.
If you couldn't get more than 19mpg on a 35i you were either driving mostly city or driving with a lead foot or both. With those sam deriving patterns, you'd be hard pressed to get even 14 in a 50i.
