Just finished my first tank of fuel in the corsa and it got 38MPG; over the moon with that really as it compares with the TVR's 15!!
It will pay for itself in no time

Well mines the 1.6 and i got 365 to £40; that would have cost me £120ish to go that far in the TVR!

i didn't, thats the average i would expect.
my 1.2 16v gets 80-100 to a tenner with eratic driving, with mixed driving i would expect 100 miles to a tenner in a 1.4 16v. 
there was a site posted on here before about mpg:

80-100 per gallon so £5 of fuel will get you 100miles?

40-50mpg then
Was thinking my old 8v used to get 45ish driving nicely but put your foot down to try and make it move fuel went quicker than the speedo did.
