My 1.7 ecoflex returns a staggering 43ish to the imp gal , even with 6th gear engaged and cruise on. . Quite frankly , I'm disappointed. .:sus:
It has got 24k on it , mate. I think there might be something wrong with it and I'd like to find out what , that , is. .![]()
You don't say what you are driving. .You don't state what kind of driving you do. I got 56.9mpg out of mine on a run to Harrogate that's at 70 with the cruise on. Avg just doing work runs and such is 48.
Take it back:lol: My 2.0 cdti gtc returns 45-47 mpg with occasional spirited driving. Surprised you're not getting 50 mpg unless you have been putting derv in a petrol engine:sus:My 1.7 ecoflex returns a staggering 43ish to the imp gal , even with 6th gear engaged and cruise on. .

old astra 1.9 150 160k on the clock
Standard wheels but tyre size is 225 50 17. Think l might buy some fuel cleaner. .Could be anything from incorrect tyre pressure or non standard wheels to dirty/faulty injector or dodgy ECU. Also the temp of the air will have an effect on mpg.
Either you're not having much luck with your car or it hates you :evil1:
