sounds reasonable, about what i got from my 1.3 regularly. about 250 miles on a full tank?
That's what I get out of my 1.2 carb, which generally takes a good hammering.

I did Sheffield to London and back on 20 quid in my old 1.3 mk1 astra once, I was really impressed with it. Get 28ish mpg from the merc
lol my 2.2 astra only does 31.2 mpg
pffft riggy, drop the weight to 800Kg and you will get 40mpg easy :D

i get approx 30mpg in the cally, when its running right lol
and it works out to be 18mpg on full boost on the diesel lol
Feck knows what my MPG was, but I used to be able to manage 3 15 minute sessions on 3/4's of a tank lol

i got about 320ish on 3/4 of a tank 37quid to fill up again 200 were motor way tho in my 1,0
I get 75 miles to a ?10 (@97.9p per litre) in my 1.2 carb, thats a mix of delivery driving and some normal runs (over 10 miles). Mine is pinking a bit as the ignition is advanced a few degrees since one of the springs in the ignition advance in the distributor broke and the basic mixture was upped a little from what was required on the MOT.

recently bought a mk2 golf gti 16v with tsr cams in it. drive it gently around town get about 25 ish, motorway about low 30's and giving it stick about 17 :eek:
Interested in more experiences of std XE mpg - seen as I bought the saloon to be a bit of an eco-box lol
As long as it goes over the 25-26mpg of the Celica (approx 60 miles per ?10 of SUL) I'll be happy :D
Hmm I get around 300 miles from 30 squids in my C12NZ. (oh the joys of 45BHP)
Most of that is crappy town driving stop start **** **** foot to the floor to make the lights, slow down to 30 for speed camera etc etc
So if petrol is 97p a litre.
30/.97 = 30.93 litres. Divide that by 4.5 (roughly no of litres in a gallon) fives me 6.9 gallons.
300/6.9 = 43.5MPG
Not bad I think :D
