Its hardly a 'little' car, just not a huge saloon.

True. 44 MPG is hardly shocking, is it?
[TW]Fox;20510152 said:As an average no but on a long motorway journey its far from impressive given the car in question. A 2 litre Mondeo wouldn't be far off.
Mine 49 mpg, many motorway driving in an automatic. Very please with that.![]()
Average in the Cupra is 37MPG. I am sure this will go down when I can finally give it some!
Still 500 miles more until it is broken in though!

its double what you are getting? the Problem with almost all of these cars is 5th gear is faaaaaaaarrrrrrr too short, so you rev far too high on the motorway.

How are you finding it? Really interested as it looks epic on paper but not sure about hot hatch+dsg? The combined figure looks sweet too
My trip computer says 62 average. Actual is 55MPG, pretty much every tank. Last tank was 52. Maybe winter diesel has finally kicked in?
Ah sorry. Im guessing you have a cruising rpm of 2000, at 70mph? The fiesta will be at 3600ish RPM, 4000rpm at 80, hence terrible mpg even when cruising. Still i think 44mpg from a 1.6 fiesta is rather good.[TW]Fox;20510729 said:It's not double what I get on the motorway?

They only seem usefully more efficient around town but you can hardly do huge miles popping into town so the real savings are limited.
