My Croma has now done 25000 miles. I was looking at eLearn today, (workshop manual on CD) and apart from the mysterious rear toe-in, which I will comment on later, I found that it is supposed to go into an economy mode, automatically. I have been keeping the instant average going, and I think I have seen economy mode once in 500 miles. I was doing about 50 in 5th on a flat road and gradually the reported mpg rose to 55. It occurs to me that this feature should be set to engage more easily. In fact it could be a cause of the poor MPG. Any dealers ever heard of this?
The alfa 2.4 engines are often reported to go better and smoother with the higher grade fuel. I have tried half a tank (to fill up) and can see no difference to the average in 60 miles. Some of the Alfa users report a sudden improvement in mpg at 15000 and 25000.
