I'm averaging about 28-30 to the gallon.I would expect this is pretty bad for a 1.2.

I've fitted a cheap induction kit, gives a nice deep roar..and makes the car sound faster which i like....but to get this effect i have to push my foot to the metal and i think this is whats supping all my fuel and i carnt afford it atm.

1.2s only, what are you averaging....do you have the boggy air filter?

1.2 8v and i get 300 miles from it, i did run out in the summer and it has put loads of crap into my engine. I was surprised to find no fuel filter on the corsa

to a full tank, 40lt's, i get about 300-400 miles - although usually in the 360 range

I have had 440 odd out of a tank once, but i was driving the car like a propper grandad, not going above 70 etc

The simple solution is don't keep pushing your foot to the floor, Matty Lee18.
450miles to a 60 litre tank, if I'm heavy footed. That's not a Corsa though.

My c20let is more economical fuel wise than your 1200, so yes, you have a problem, and no we're not in Houston.

^ this is similar to me, lots of back roads near me, like my own personal test track... all the roundabouts in Cov don't help either

i try to drive everywhere in 4th and 5th without booting it and out of my SRi i get about 220 miles to £20. Not sure what mpg that works out to be but i think its good for a Sri with PVD cone and s/s exhaust.

But alot of the time i get tempted give it some juice on the Duals and it becomes very expensive

hmm jsut trying to do the math, correct me if i am wrong....
220 miles on £20
£20 / £0.82 = 24.4 letres
220 miles / 24.4 letres = 9.02 miles a letre
9.02 mpl * 8 = 72.1 mpg

can't be right can it? i do practically keep it in 5th all the way

think i found the conversion...
gallons (GB) litres/(ers) x 4.54609
so 9.02 mpl * 4.55 = 41 mpg. not as good as i first thought but still good

so for a tank its 41 * 8 = 328 miles. but chances of me driving like a granny for a whole tank is very unlikely

There is a fuel filter. Found in front of the drivers side rear wheel under the car.
