Hello All
I'm a newby here after just picking up my 1.3MJT 95bhp last week. Its a 6 month old car with 3k miles on the clock. I am generally happy with the car except for the fuel consumption. I've downsized from a Fabia vRS 1.9TDi 130bhp and the fuel consumption on the 500 seems no better!? I would pretty much always get 45-50mpg from the Fabia however I drove it but a reasonable mixture of roads and 200 miles, and the computer is showing me 48mpg, surely this cant be right? I was expecting 60mpg average from everything that I read. What are other owners getting out of their cars? and what should I expect from long mway/dual carriageway runs at 80mph ?
Thanks in advance
