Not usually one to worry about MPG, but what kind of MPG are we talking? A few adverts have said they got like 45 MPG which I cannot believe, as my 1.4 Fiesta doesn't do that.
And how much to fill the tank and how many miles? Thanks

Will be less than my golf. I average about 29 ish which is quite a good mix of driving. you can get over 40mpg but you have to be holding up the rest of the world tbh

You would have to drive like a complete fanny. I find it impossible to keep mine above 30, and thats driving like my grandma. And she doesn't even drive.

Mileage wouldn't worry me if it was cheaper, over priced at the minute though.

And if it had had the all relevant services relating to the mileage there is no reason why it should be a problem. Cambelt etc

At the moment im getting 22mpg, but on average get around 27mpg. Thats mixed motorway and town. 225 TT with Revo.
I can get 35mpg on long motorway trips if i resist going into boost.

What the fuck that's better than my 1.4 Fiesta 
I think there must have been something wrong with the old engine, hopefully this ones better.
