I love this question

When you say drink loads of fuel what do you mean ? If you are comparing it to a regular car then yes it does drink loads.
You've got to take in to consideration a really small fuel tank and the type of car and style of driving.
When I would kick the arse out of mine I could get as low as 10mpg, but as Tidgy said above, driving like a pussy I can get in to the 25-30's.
As a rule I expect to get about 180 mile to a full tank of fuel, and I'm happy with that

chris2000 · 24 Aug 2010, 03:50 PM

i knew this car was going to be bad but i drive it slow most times say round town the other day put 10 qiud init 38 miles i got

carwisperer · 24 Aug 2010, 04:39 PM

as above ive come to realise they have small fuel tanks mate so it does seem to go quicker!25-30 im getting too!as above..driving like miss daisy tho!!

not bad considering what your driving and the size of the fuel tank

Matt-WRX-Import · 24 Aug 2010, 05:23 PM

If it's running well, serviced frequently and correct tyre pressure (this can make a big difference) then I'd say it's about right.
You can look at a remap option.

Don't get much fuel for £10 mate nowadays. Have to put at least £20 - £30 in mine a week. Most of that gets used on a Saturday
