Mileage?
My revs seem to dip occasionally BUT no EML - I know it will work when it wants to because it lights up when I turn the ignition on

ive got a corsa c. 1.0 12v 3cylinder
1st gear - 30mph
2nd gear - 50mph
3rd gear - 70mph
4th - around 80-85
5th gear. u may not believe this but 112mph.
i got a pic at around 103, but i did get 112. with standard wheels too so its quite accurate.

and this is my fuel reading at the end of the hammering up to glasgow

35k, been doing it since 33k though.. Something to do with the air flow meter? Once it starts happening it will happen every 10 seconds on a motorway!

And you started off with a full tank? If you were, you must have been hammering it.

Ahhh no, my revs dip occasionally when I come up to junctions etc - normally when it's pissing it down outside and the car is hot though.

Ah, mine's a common problem with the 1.0 12v apparently! Will get it fixed asap.
But, on the subject.. got mine to about 97/98 ( downhill ).

Would have made my journey if I even got there that quick, let alone what I saw. I normally sit at between 60mph to 70mph.

200 Miles to half a tank?
I got 200 from just under half in my X14XE but that was steady going, first time doing a long distance motorway drive.
