Not sure what they do standard the engine but in a nova i was surprised at how good it was

I drive to uni which is purley to farnham and then back again which is a 90 mile round trip filled up till it clicked and kept clicking it to make sure it was full. then got back and did the same. i used 8.45 litres costing 9.88 which works out to 48.42 MPG!!! awesome! :thumb:

I could have went into 50s on a motor way lol

ooo thats poor. heavy foot with them sucks. light foot wins. i pretty much got 50mpg that disel territory. which is win. But disels have gotten so much better give them death and still 60mpg, uncool. but still petrol more fun!

Brilliant MPG mate. Yours must be running spot on aswell. Driving sensibly gives you sensible mpg.

My mate easily gets 40mpg when driving his Cally Turbo sensibly so it should be good in a light car, but drive it 'enthusiastically' and that probably won't be the case lol

oh yes but you probs drive it like you own them cyclinders! lol which is good mpg if you were.

But so pleased with it. was doing around 70-90 mph (rarely hitting 90) but i drive it like a granny around town, but still pretty much 50mpg and in traffic on the beloved M25
