do you know what it is? If so, post here your engine, any mods (don't post air filters, just exhaust or manifolds, uprated cams etc).
I have a 1.2 8v engine
No mods
My MPG is approximately 23 MPG
(i don't know what's wrong with it, lol)

Makes it easier to be fair, you just reset your trip counter when you fill up, drive, then see how much you've used and put in the details.
If I was to do it, the estate would be down on single figures...
