Average about 38mpg all depends how heavy your right foot is and your driving style. If your smoth you'll notice a small difference in mpg but not enough to make you rich lol.



Did an eco driving test this afternoon, first trip- drove like the average driver, hard accelerating and braking, averaged 46.8 mpg for 7.8 miles in 15 mins 30 secs, second trip- drove the same route but this time smoothly, braking only when necessary and maintaining momentum as much as possible, averaged 61.3 mpg and the journey only took 5 seconds longer!! That's a 31% increase in fuel efficiency; in other words, you could use up to a third less fuel by simply changing your driving style. If you spent £100 in fuel each month that's a total of £400 saved per year- think about it!

Speaking of petrol light, does anyone know of the top of their head roughly how many miles are left in the tank once the petrol warning light come on?
