I had a 2017 Lounge, it did 43-48mpg, which was decent for the time of year. Nowhere near run in and neither is yours. With the 15' wheels had softer ride and a lot more grip too over previous 1.2's I'd had. 38 not bad. My TA 4x4, if I don't do motorway and A road inside the next week will be scraping 30mpg.

Hi all. Update on panda, since February we have been running on either shell or bp fuel and can say the car definitely performs better know.Runs a lot smoother,the dead spot when you pull away has gone and better on fuel gone from 38/39 up to 43 a vast improvement, so happy now. Also have started running Ford Kuga on shell or bp and that has improved MPG as well. I know a lot of people have always said there is a difference and now i believe it.

Good to hear its working for you

Experience tells me its not a '1 suits all' type of thing..
but thats 'tolerancing' and 'standards' for you


I will have to look into the 'catch tank' quotes though.. seen a few references to them now
