    Can anyone beat my 75-80 MPG in my motor (scooter) and cost me £3.40 to fill her up. Shame my car eats petrol quickly.

    About 45mpg in the Seicento.....surprised thats worse than Knas 1.2 Punto tbh, since its only a 1.1, but it is an older engine...

    I also only put Super Unleaded in and coast a lot :D TBH, I probably don't get that, but that's some quoted figures.. I probably get closer to 40 the way I drive.

    30-33 MPG my car is not great on fuel, although I do push the car a fair bit, if I drove realy econo then It would be better.

    my truck gets like 12mpg if i'm lucky and costs around $35 to fill

    my convertible gets around 20ish on average and costs almost $30 to fill up

    my car gets like 20ish on average as well and costs around $25 to fill up

    and the little honda that became mine gets like 30ish on average (record is 35mpg all highway) and costs like $20 to fill up... that'll change eventaully :naughty:

    BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Is it a 6? Or an 8? I'm shooting for 10MPG :rolleyes: on my AMC 401, stickin with a carb, and points :p gotta love simplicity sometimes.

    My 91 Nissan Sentra with a 1.6L and a 3spd Auto, gets horrible gas mileage of about 25MPG, although now my speedo doesn't work, should have a cable thursday... It doesn't help that it gets driven hard, lots of WOT, cuz the Auto is slllooowwww, but can hit oh say 100MPH, but thats pushing 6,000 RPM hehehe.

    £15 to fill a Micra, and about 40-50mpg (That's for the manual btw, not sure what the fuel economy is like on the automatic, probably more like 40.)
