Don't really know the MPG, but get about 400 miles till the light coms on.

But If I drive like a boy racer it's different story,

Well it is very nice to hear the Turbo some days

On a brim to brim test I average 22mpg

but then it is a turbo auto box. When I get onto a motorway it can nudge up to 30mpg.
But as my fuel costs half that of petrol, I make that 44 and 60mpg

26 mpg on average, 31 mpg brim to brim mostly on motorway.

1.8 Turbo.

1.8T manual saloon with 15" Michelin Energy tyres.

working out "brim to brim" over the past 10 months, ~33mpg mainly around town (falling to 31mpg with AC) and ~38mpg mainly on the motorway (falling to just under 36mpg with AC). I've gotten 41mpg on a completely motorway run with two refuels doing 75mph.

I can only manage just over 30 mpg on the motorway, driving moderately, and averaging about 26 - 28 mpg with mixed driving. 1.8 turbo.

Have a 1.8T manual. I commute 60 miles per day all motorway always at a steady 60 - 70 MPH and achieve a regular 36 MPG, that's according to my onboard Scangauge and a manual record I check with a spreadsheet periodically. (not too anal then :lol: )

Around town The Boss (1.8T manual) averages 27 mpg, taking her for her first run to Devon soon.

Cheers

I have the non- turbo 1.8 and on a run say going up north (A9) i have had 42-44mpg, that keeping it to about 55-65mph when possible, using car for work probably about 33-36mpg which is not bad at all for the size of car.

Mines 1.8 manual and get 37-38 on my daily 120 mile commute, which is much better than my Alfa 1.8 that managed 27 at best!
