Post by: mike142sl on January 15, 2010, 15:14:13: Depends on the time of year and the type of journeys you do. Mine comes in between 18 - 25mpg (auto box) but only do short trips in the main.

Post by: jay2578 on January 15, 2010, 17:24:03: found the manual for it! it states 31.7 mpg for extra urban, with the average speed at 39mph i think, which apart from the occaisional trip down to edinburgh is probably average-ish speed for me. not too bad i spose :grin: and its auto, i can see me getting lazy!! :evil:

Post by: mike142sl on January 16, 2010, 11:10:43: Best I ever get out of mine has been just under 27mpg after a trip to Devon plus bobi'n about whilst there on holiday. Best with a trailer behind has been 24mpg after scout camp - both summer months.

Worst I ever got was just over 16mpg one January and after the weather we've had recently I suspect a similar result next time I fill up :sad:
