fuel consumption
« on: 29 May 2011, 19:48 »
hi all - Need some input as i think my 2.0 non turbo is drinking fuel for a livin.  I put 50 quids worth in the tank and got aprox 240 miles.  Anybody know if this is good or bad?

£50 worth of fuel isn't many litres these days is it? so i'd say that's about right to be honest..

I would say that is about right, they are not that good on fuel tbh.
