good mpg for a 1.4?
« 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:

300 sounds about right. mk3 tank is about £50 (just over)
