You would have thought a smaller engine = better MPG. My 1.4 16v Astra has better MPG than my old 1.2 16v Corsa!

Depends on alot of things. Age, milage, family of engine, etc etc.
I have a friend that drives a 1993 Honda Integra 1.8L 16v (140bhp) and that pretty much can almost match my corsa (1.4L 8v) for mpg on a run (he can get 40+mpg of it at times). His car has 150,000 miles on it too.

Got 300 miles to just under a full tank once. That was 150 miles of motorway driving tho sticking at 3,500rpm. I average about 60-70 miles to £10
