fuel consumption?

My friend drives Punto mfd 1999 1.2 60 and he wants to know your average fuel consumption in city. He don't know what to do because his one is about 10 lit on 100 km (sorry didn't calculate it on mpg).

Around 40-45mpg depending on driving style. Dont know/cant be arsed working that out metric

my old black mk1 1.2 60sx auto done 349 miles using 41.28 litres of fuel
divide 41.28 litres by 4.51 =9.15 galls divide 349 by 9.15 =38.14 mpg

you should get more from a manual one

Thanks guys

i usually get 380-420miles to a tank (well as much out of a tank as i would dare as the gauge hits the bottom stop everytime i go round a right hand bend

Is that a Mk1 or Mk2 cos I think 99 was the change year. Mine is a Mk2 same spec 1.2 60, Handbook says 50.1mpg it does mainly town driving and returns 49-50 usually, and jumps to 53-55 when I take it up the motorway. I don't drive fast though.

My 1.1-litre 55SX only manages an average of 32mpg its got a manual box, K&N air filter, catalytic converter bypass pipe, and an owner with a very heavy right foot!
Bloody car drinks petrol, I'm getting a 2-litre Capri soon and I bet that does about the same mpg...

With a K&N induction kit, cat back exhaust and a heavy right foot im gettin 150miles for 20quid of petrol with my 55SX (with a lot of stop start traffic usage + 1or2 extra passengers). Not sure how to work that out to mpg.

my sporting has done 29.8 mpg on its last tank, i can safely say i have a heavy riight foot

my old cavalier 2ltr sri got 30-35mpg

My god, thats even worse than mine I uually get around 90 to the tenner (so 180 to £20). My 55SX also has a K&N, and a standard exhaust with de-cat pipe. But I get the same lousy economy whether I drive like an old duffer in a Metro, or like Schumacher with his balls on fire

Oh, and on the 260-mile trip back from picking up the Capri, the Punto went through £30 of petrol... exactly the same as the 2-litre Ford. Shocking!

Very shocking. Something must be up with our puntos cos everyone else seem to get a whole lot more out of their puntos with higher specs as well.

if i was only gettin that i would be worried my car was sick lol . hell i would be pissed if my sporting averaged less that 40mpg lol i expect to get at least120miles for a 10er

I have noticed petrol smells emmiting from my car latley and many of my mates say then can smell it (ive been trying not to notice is). Ive had a check around and nothing seems to be leaking out of the car.

edit.... mmm my banner is a bit shocking probably take it off :P
