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

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

Re: Real MPG for the Grande Punto 1.4 Eleganza

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
