hi everyone im goin to be taken delivery of a new punto in march with this engine as i need to get a bigger size as my puppy has grown out of the 500 which i'll miss but hopefully id enjoy the punto too as my 500 was the 95bhp diesel and was only getting 45 mpg so hopefully i might get decent mpg out of the punto
 
That's one long sentence. You're not going to beat the diesel for fuel economy, what are you after?
 
I think the MultiAir 135bhp seems to get slightly better MPG than the 105bhp, but obviously it depends how you drive.

I'd have thought about 35mpg driving around town and upto 45ish on a long run. Not amazing, but if you only got 45mpg from the diesel 500 then i'd imagine 40mpg from a petrol Punto would be quite good.
 
Hey,
I get about 33 going to work and back but thatS sitting in loads of stop start traffic and a dash down a dual carriageway if I go on a long run I get about 47mpg, From what I hear on here fuel economy gets better the more miles its done I've had mine since october and its only done 2500miles, Not exactly the figures they say you can get but Its probably like that with most cars, You'll love the car though!
 
thanks guys for the help my 500 was good at the beginning but as the miles munched on it got worse
but need a bigger car for my new dog so lookin forward to gettin it need some ideas for some suttle mods too
 
I think its a great engine. Quite nippy and I average around the 40 mpg mark most times. I also don't really drive it that carefully so I guess if I did then I might get more. However whats the point of having an engine like that and driving it carefully :D
