Although this has probably been covered in some detail previously, I was interested to find out from other 1.2 4x4 users about their own economy levels. I'm starting to think that either my trip computer is faulty or my Panda is stuck in town driving mode!
Since buying it in January 2006, I can safely say that the maximum range I've got from a full tank is 220 miles, which seems a tad low. The trip computer regularly reads a combined mpg range of between 38 to 41 mpg, but I never seem to be able to get more than 210 miles from the tank. Something seems amiss and I'd be interested to hear from other owners. I lrun the tank right down too, over half way into the red with the remaining miles reading "----" all the time. I think sometimes that the fuel nozzle cuts off quite early when I'm filling up but it's hard to judge how much more to stuff in!
It's due a service next month so I wonder if the garage can check the diagnostics to see if there's anything obvious. My driving is mainly in and around town, but it's mostly 40mph and over but maybe I just have to accept it as I know it's not known for its economy...
Any advice/insights are very much appreciated!
