Hi all, need your help and would like to understand my car’s consumption abit better.
I have a 2002 1.4 petrol ( mileage: 113,000) and it’s running on 15 inch wheels. I do a lot of driving daily for work and can clock almost 80miles/ day.
In my latest top up, I paid £49 for a full tank and had travelled 325miles on that. Which should be about 29.56MPG.
Is that the norm? I was always under the impression the A2 performed way better than that ( considering modern petrol cars can easily do 36MPG).
And if that’s not the norm, what can I do/ get working on to improve my fuel consumption? I easily do an even split between 20mile per hour driving in london and motorway driving at 70mile per hour each day.
Any help an advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
