I work on a diesel production line in work and 70 odd mpg seems the average fuel economy from the new gen eu6 engines.
Just because it's average doesn't mean it's not still an impressive figure though?

We're talking about my brothers 1.5dci. Not my Clio m9
Personally not fussed about mpg. Wasn't bothered by it in the mini or the MPS either.
If it does good mpg. Then bonus. But if it doesn't, it wouldn't put me off a car atall.

Average anything is not impressive. Impressive implies it exceeds average.

I know people were, I'm making a general statement.
What you've just said at the end is perfectly how you should look at a car imo

I still think it's an impressive feat to be doing that many mpg in general. Wether all cars are doing it or not.
It's pretty much double what any car I've ever owned has done.
