Title: good mpg for a 1.4?
Post by: Sonic2 on 27 February 2010, 20:30

110 miles from £14 of fuel... I had to drive with a light foot to get that much out of it too. 2k rpm in 5th mostly! petrol my way is 1.11 per litre.

if you get around 70-100 miles for £10 of petrol. your gettin good miles per gallon.

All depends on how heavy your right food tends to be :afro:
