Getting about 28mpg combined atm. So is livable considering engine size/weight/auto

is yours a manual then? i had a 318ci auto, which i frequently got 24mpg. it was sh1te at economy. sh1te at performance, was dead slow. it looked good tho

Na it's an auto, the last couple of runs have been alot of 60/70. i dont do too bad round town as have the roof down posing for ze bitches

damn! do these steep inclines really damage my wealth that much?

318's are bad on fuel in general i think due to the weight of the car. Have quite a few inclines around my way although nothing compared to when i went yorkshire last

318 is pants really. very disappointing. wouldnt mind it if i had the performance to go with the fuel consumption. ie. scooby

but its probably the slowest car ive ever owned. lol

M local Tesco is 123.9, passed a BP on the way to work something silly like 129/130.

I just fill up to the top and get on with it.

If I was working full time, I'd probably stuggle with driving a 2.0L and all but right now, I only use the car for short journeys about twice a week so not affecting me too much.
Just that £20 don't get ya much at all anymore.

To get 40 you would have to reset it on the mway and be driving like a pussy, or its reading out

My figure is with a long mway/a road travelling at constant speed.

i once got 112mpg travelling 2 miles mainly downhill and flat in neutral without braking.
