I get 42.9 on average from the pug. 1.6 petrol though. 95% motorway driving.

Seems a lot of people are impressed with the fuel consumption on Renaults.

Friend of mine is the same.

"I thought diesels were ment to get 60mpg+"

I'd rather look at 45mpg on the computer with my stereo on, climate set to 18o on Auto, cruise control set to 80 and some decent comfy seats in a quiet cabin.

Fuck that 1.2 Corsa/Clio shit, even if theyu do do 50mpg.
