I think you\'ve answered your own question in the first post.

i get about 100miles on £10 which i thought was rubbish but after reading the posts it seems pretty normal. I suppose i ain\'t doing too bad considering I\'ve got a pretty badly worn lobe on my camshaft which cant be helping

[quote=\"scatt16v\"]i just got 100 miles to £15. Get over it!! but it is a 1.4 16v, with no middle box. Thats drivin like a granny!! (not goin over 3k)[/quote]

Is that normal for yours?
I tend to fill mine up when it gets to top of the red. Takes about £30-35 to fill & in my old 1.4 16v I got around 300 miles before it was back to top of red & needed filling again. Now I\'m getting around 200-250 miles to it as this one (also 1.4 16v) is on 17\'s and occassionally using air con.
I filled it up on thursday, did spot on 100 miles & it cost me £17 to top back up today.
