Hello,
Since this is my 1st post, I want to congratulate every user for making this such a nice place to be in. I've been visiting the Panda corner for a few weeks now and I've found it to be very informative and generally useful, with a friendly feel to it.
My girlfriend got a '92 750 CLX for Xmas and... well, lets just say that I'm now falling in love with a car that I've always looked down to (especially after having 3 old school Fiats in the family). It has covered almost 79k kms (about 49k miles) and it actually looks and drives quite well! Its black, has a 5 speed gbox, 155/65 R13 tyres, factory tinted glass and front grille inserted extra high beam lamps. Nice...
The thing is I expected it to have a very low fuel consumption... which isn't happening. We're getting about 7,5 L/100 kms @ 80 to 100 km/h. I wonder if theres any common problem that might lead to those exaggerated figures... the car has had the oil and filter, air filter and fuel filter replaced and the sparkplugs looked OK. The CO has also been set up before she got the car. Any help would be thoroughly appreciated! Especially coz with this sort of fuel consumption, the Panda will be staying home more than we'd like it to. After all, its cheaper to go places in my Fiesta mk4 D [V]
