Just filled up with 43 ltrs and had 507 on the trip!

Got about 2500 on the clock and mpg just amazing. Some have said it will get even better!

Got to be happy with that!!!

Yes, as time goes on the fuel mpg will improve further.

Strange you should say that about Tesco fuel. I filled up with them for the 1st time in ages the other month.
The Esso tank before I got 65.2mpg - 12 July
Tesco tank 59.5mpg - 23 July (my 1st tank below 60mpg since May)
The tank after was BP Ultimate and got 67mpg

Very good figures there!

Very impressive figures there. I can see I am a little heavy footed

In fairness you have a petrol rather than a diesel, so you don't have to be too hard on yourself.

I actually can't complain about my MPG as I am averaging a good 8l/100km so it's not bad considering I drive mostly in the city.

Actually we have a 1.4 Fabia and we get the same MPG so should be happy

35.5 mpg you have got a heavy foot.

The 1.4 in the Fabia is an old school engine, but less than 35 mpg in that too means your other half has a heavy foot too!!

HappyMan · 30th September 2008, 11:32

Part of the problem is the stop starting in the heavy morning traffic and maintaining traffic speed in that stop start traffic - I am talking about Poland here! If I am careful I have no problem doing a respectable 6.5 - 7.0l/100km but in stop start traffic in Poland that's difficult. On the whole I am happy

But year my better half has a heavy foot in the Fabia!

malbo007 · 2nd October 2008, 22:45

can anyone tell me how much it would cost (roughly on todays diesel prices) to fill up the tank of a 2.2 ctdi??

TypeSGT4ME · 2nd October 2008, 22:55

Filled up last night and cost me 56 quid, could have squeezed few more pence in though I think!

That was at 117.9 per litre, should last me just over 2weeks. Have a 34 round trip every day to work. Last tank full got nearly 530 mile with a light right foot!

Wheelchair · 6th November 2008, 12:26

Had a 26 mile drive today along main roads and through towns and the Civic did a most agreeable 52mpg!

And I wasn't really driving for economy either!

My average for my current tank is 397 miles so far and 48.8 mpg.

I bet I have had more fun

Wheelchair · 6th November 2008, 12:34

We need a fun-ometer in the car!

For the last 3 weeks, I've been "stuck" on 30 mpg ... that's driving through town and to \ from work (short journeys, where I seem to spend as much time 'parked' as I do moving) ...

That's the worst I've ever had (and I never try to drive economically) ... in fact, I got around 35 mpg this Summer, while in the UK earlier this year and "playing on the Motorways !" ...

So, I'm not complaining at all ... despite my "worst endeavours", I think it's pretty good for a 1.8 petrol engine ...

p.s. - 30 mpg is 9.4 litres per 100 km - but we'll see if the first service (next week) makes a difference ...

35mph on a UK motorway - that is bad even for the m25 - I hope you mean MPG!!!!!
