I only got 200 out of my 1.2 8v... That is poor, putting the 2.0 in to increase fuel economy, honest

I've got the same problem!!! I think mines due to the running hot problem though. But £15 will last me around 100-140 miles depending on the driving. Drinks loads at full throttle, seems to drink nearly aas much under normal driving too
Ahhh well, all work in progress.

Cant really ocmpare fuel consumption figures too easy, as a major factor is whether the engine is warm or not. Doing short (5-10min) drives will kill the fuel economy compared to longer trips.
Also where your driving makes a lot of difference. Travelling at a constant 50-60MPH will get you better economy than going through roads where you have t keep slowing down and speeding up.
Its quite strange. I only seem to be able to squeeze 85-90 mile out of a tenner (usually just under 13 litres) no matter how i drive it. Thats a 1.4. My old 1.2 8v was the same  .

only 290 on £40 odd quid in a 1.2 16v Sxi
[edit] Actually thats more like 290 on about £35 ish coz I never usually let it run empty - I usually refill at about 260 and get about £34 in...
Don't forget if you got exhaust systems etc + induction kits it'll probably hike up fuel consumption a bit too... Plus I never drive sensible

my old 1.2 8v was really really pish on fuel no matter what way i drove her, struggled to get 300 miles to a full tank and that was a mixed bag of motorway miles, urban traffic and short runs.

I got a 1.4 8v MPI and its been doing really well lately, can get 330 miles off 33 quid, but thats mainly motorway driving, although doing 90 -100mph constant, which is quite good.
