Check this. I got the car in my sig and did a 250 mile trip to Wales on Sunday and back again on Wednesday.

I have got a heavy foot and was doing 80mph for a lot of the journey. I averaged about 38 mpg in the end. Is that what I should expect for that model??

You must have a very heavy right foot to only get 47mpg from an 80bhp 1.5- I have the 106bhp version and i easily average 55+mpg and i dont drive slowly.



:) yes maybe a little led in my boot but i have just upgraded from a 7 seater :)

Lol perfectly understandable then... out of interest what tuning box did you go far? Ive never heard of a tuning box that will raise your mpg that much. Is there much of a power difference?
