How many miles a gallon is your Panda doing?
Mine is an Eleganza and it is doing 39.8 mpg at the moment. It has only done 250 miles so it is not run in yet and I have been driving most of these miles with the climate control and the lights on.
I just wonder if anyone out there has seen an improvement in fuel consumption after the first few hundred miles.
They say in the brochure that it can do 50 mpg but that seems a long way off at the moment.

The climate control really eats the fuel. I ignore the trip computer as it seems to over estimate! I always seem to get around 45mpg. Rarely get more than 48. Only got the full 50 when running her in! I have heard the consumption varies though.

Being a base model I don't have a trip computer to work out mpg and I haven't been bothered to work it out manually yet! All I know is it's a hell of a lot easier on Shells' finest than the Abarth is!!

hmm
i get around 21-23km/l (4,5 100km)
diesel!

According to the trip computer, the fuel consumption for my Dynamic SkyDome is at least 52mpg. Brilliant little car - I love it!! (10,000 miles this week!)

I have only had my 4x4 for about three weeks i am doing about 150 miles to about 23-24 litres. Does anyone know how to covert litres to gallons?

Converting litres to gallons - divide by 4.546
Your 150 miles to 23 litres works out at 29.6 mpg - think there's something wrong there!
I seem to be getting 58 mpg generally, though I have managed 61mpg on one tankful. This is a MultiJet diesel.

Mine is the 1.2 petrol

It seems far to low to me. Fill up & recheck it or get the reading off your onboard computer -if it has one.

my car is a 1.2. eleganza has done over 32,000 and it average 55 mpg and i find using the climate control makes very little difference why have something and not use it.

I double checked my 4x4 1.2 consumption today. It's 34 MPG. Not good, but as a city car it's in stop/start traffic every trip. The trip computer also read 34 mpg over the two tankfuls I double checked so it seems pretty accurate. The climate control being on or off seems to make little difference, but it might do as the weather warms up and the cooling compressor is on more. I seem to be getting about 38 mpg on motorways, according to the trip -pooter.

I think the 4x4 has a smaller gas tank too, something to do with squeezing in the 4x4 bits? But I fill up every couple of hundred miles. I'm planning a long trip through Spain this summer , so I'm quite interested in fuel consumption figures.....

That is just under 30mpg which is not unusual for the 4x4 if you are driving in town or driving it hard on the open road. My mixed driving in the 4x4 usually gives about 33-34 mpg. Don't let the other replies here make you think something is wrong. The 4x4 is much heavier than the other petrol Pandas, has higher power losses in the 4x4 drivetrain and is geared lower so it will never be brilliant in the fuel economy stakes.
Shame that we cannot get the 4x4 with the more powerful and more economical Diesel engine.

I had a word with a mechanic friend and he told me that as the engine runs in it should get better on the fuel consumption. Only have 401miles on the clock so far.

What figures do Fiat quote in their brochures?

Sooo, Fiat's quote : urban cycle / extra-urban cycle / combined is 7.9 / 5.8 / 6.6 Litres/100km, that's 29.77/40.55/35.63 mpg. So, if you get 34 mpg in urban cycle, thats quite good (in fact, should be more. but - I dunno anything about the metodics used for the "official" consumption).

for my Panda 1.2 4x4 the figures are:
City 8,5-9,5 lt/100km
Open roads full gas 8,5 lt/100km
Open road economy drive 7,5 lt/100km
Mountain drive 6.5-7.5lt/100km
Snow-ice drive 10,5-11lt/100km

please make the conversion to mpg

City 8,5-9,5 lt/100km = 27.67 - 24.76 mpg
Open roads full gas 8,5 lt/100km = 27.67 mpg
Open road economy drive 7,5 lt/100km
Mountain drive 6.5-7.5lt/100km = 36.18 - 31.36 mpg
Snow-ice drive 10,5-11lt/100km = 22.40 - 21.38 mpg
