(G) Real MPG for the Grande Punto 1.4 Eleganza

Can someone tell me when doing 'real world' driving what does the



Grande Punto 1.4 Eleganza (5 door)



Get MPG wise ???



Iv read the Official stats but we all know they differ when driving the car on real roads and not on a rolling road .....

My average for 1.4 16v 3door is 90% of the time above 36mpg. Eleganza is faster though so could be slightly lower

Faster....Ehhh?
Its only faster if you choose to drive it faster

If anything it will be slower as it will be loaded up with more kit as standard....

Er......The Eleganza is now an 8 valve unit.....no?

correct mate, my friend has just got a 57 plate punto elegnza and its the 1.4 8v 5 speed unit. Seems strange that 8v units are still being used fiat are one of the only company's that still using them.

I can gurantee you there not. They use them for a cheaper option for people, lower emissions and tax etc.

Hi

I have a 1.4 Eleganza 8v 5dr 07 plate registered 23rd April 07 just done 7000 miles my average speed over the last 1800 miles (since trip last reset) has been 21mph so mostly town driving kids to school wife to work etc and my average according to computer is 33.6 i do not rag the car but do have A/C compressor on either cool or hot air so this will have affected this figure

Hope this helps - besides this relatively poor consumption the car is amazing everything I hoped for and would recommend
