Right now I decided to break (crash even :( ) my old escort and now have a courtsey car for 3 weeks now i've done enough to warrant a second tank fill @ tesco and I've worked out thats it does;

18.6 MPG, I mean WTF OMG how the hell can a 1.2 thing drink that much ?! :mad:

Just wondering how much should it be doing ?

Also why does it feel so unstable at more than 60mph I can hear the wind, my 10yr old escort was better! And the CD player skips :( and the car seats dont fit it well and why is the seat belt 3 miles behind you, I have long arms and still cant reach it

Bah I HATE corsas

Anyway what should it be doing per gallon and how do i make it more efficent?
 
dual carriage ways + lots of rounderboats

I drive a little aggresivily but no more than in my escort and that managed 40+ mpg
 
yeah pretty sure;

135 miles
32.5 litres /4.45 = 7.3 gallons

135 / 7.3 = 18.49... = 18.5 mpg

And i filled it before this so it was right at the top..
 
It was half full when i got it I then filed it to the brim and now have again filled it to the brim..

Its only a 1.2 and doesnt accelerate much above 85
