yeah i dont get great MPG, if real steady will be about 35 after its fully warmed up. when cold or for the first 10 miles its pretty crap! normal driving (bit nippy) its around the late 20s

my average on main & motorways is 40.2mpg at around 70ish... However If i drive to work (mainly a road but with traffic) it does 32.4mpg

boney is yours the 16v too? i drove mine last night after finaly sorting out running probs and got around 32mpg on motorway! although thats an improvement on 26 that i was getting before sorting probs out

i'd say i get good mpg out of the 16v in all honesty. bout 34 mpg on average an i've seen 42 on the mfa on a long journey.

I found best way was to give a really good service, sparks,oil etc etc. clean throttle body out, and put in K&N replacement filter. If I really try and drive like a oap I can get 46mpg

Got 45.1 according to the MFA last year on the motorway on the way to Whitby at a steady 70mph. Don't know how accurate it was but it didn't seem to use that much fuel. I had just serviced it (plugs,K&N, oil, coolant and new belts all round) at the time.
