hi i would say you rcar needs a good service , it should do more than that on a run and local.i have a 1.5 dci megane and get 55 mpg local and over 60 mpg on motorway even though your car is petrol should do more . get a price for a good service

the 1.4 engine has always been too underpowered you should have gone for the 1.6 which gives better MPG and cheaper road tax

Had the same problem with my wifes megane 2, 2003, 1.4 dynamique. MPG was down to 31mpg even on a good run. Her air conditioning hadnt been working for about a year so we decided to get it fixed, bizarrely getting her air con re-gassed put her average MPG up to 42mpg. I've read on other forums that correctly pressured air con systems can improve your mpg by up to 20 - 25%.
