First let us into a secret - which engine?

Yes I was looking for a GP that could do the quoted 400mph - unless of course that's a mistype

On a 50-60mph road too, phew! Imagine the ticket you'd get for that kind of speed!

So you're doing 400mph and the road is doing 50-60? What model rolling road is it?

Hello Guys and Gals.

I apologise in advance, as im certainly not a car geek.

I have recently bought an 07 Fiat Punto - thanks to me flipping my 04 Punto :bang::slayer:

After driving it for a week I feel as though the MPG is much less. (I get 400mph doing mainly 50-60mph roads, where as I would get 450~ in the previous Punto). When driving at 60mph my rpm is at around 3100, of which I think is a little strange. The 04 Punto I would reach 60mph at around 2700~.

Any ideas or thoughts?

My 1.2 Active Grande is also 3100 RPM @ 60mph. Slightly higher than my Mk1 1.2 - 3000 RPM @ 60mph.

Assume in the above you mean 40.0 mpg and 45.0 mpg. I drive 15 miles to work, about two thirds 40-60mph the rest 30mph or less and get 50-55mpg. On some longer motorway journeys I've reached an average of 60mpg.

I would have thought your new Punto would give at least the same if not better mpg than your old one all other things being equal.

I have a Grande Punto 1.4 8v, and that's spinning at around 3000rpm at 60mph, 3500rpm at 70mph. They are lower geared than the old mk2s.

I thought Gatsos didn't work over about 200mph
