Now then, worked out i am roughly getting about 35/36mpg out of my 1996 N reg 1.2 8v LS, anyone else out there getting a similar return and does this seem low?

ive got a 1.2 ls & im gettin roughly about 30 MPG so its probs about right, but ive noticed if u fill ur tank you get more mpg, i got about 200 miles to £25 but thats when i put £25 in at once

Thats not 2 bad - it all depends on the kind of driving you do, how high you keep your revs, the weight in your car etc

Also winter makes it go down a lot as well due to lot of cold starts and using your heater etc. The best i got mine 2 was about 42 but that was in summer and doing exactly 60mph for about 50 miles lol

Well by the sounds of things it aint as bad as i thought! Think it annoys me more when i drive my fiancee's Corsa C and that gets some crazy mpg like!

I use Fuelly to log my data folks...

Theres alot of Data from end of Dec - Feb i need to log but its a great tool if you keep on top of it and do it right.

http://www.fuelly.com/driver/scorpiotn1/corsa

with a full fill of £50 i normaly do about 70% highway driving, 30mins to work, 30mins home per day. 300miles a week for my work run. this dosnt count small journeys from my work to parents which is less than 10min journey and its rare i go up for my lunch. I get just short of 400miles on £50 worth. I would think if i was to run from Full untill i was Dry and the car passed out i could just about make a full 400miles.

1.2 16v
