Posts: 89 Thanks: 8 Trader Rating: 0  | Fuel economy on 1.2 Hello all, My 1.2 Lounge has just passed the 2,500 mile mark. He had been averaging 48 mpg, but on a recent 50 mile trip on twisty A roads, doing between 50-55, averaged 64 mpg. I returned home via the M5 motorway & a good A road, being able to put my foot down more & he still averaged 59 mpg. Today, he averaged 52 mpg on a 56 mile trip, on hilly roads. I think this is excellent for a petrol model. Any other 1.2 owners getting good economy figures too ?
