drinking petrol help
have you been doing stop start journeys?
do you have a heavy foot?
have you been using the car for short journeys on a cold morning?
did you notice the price of the petrol?
how much does £10 usually get you?
or might be something mechanically wrong, but i dont know about that side

90 miles on a tenner - wow, I wish I got that?!! £25 may get me 180 miles, hmmm.
Have managed 400 miles on about £35 on a few occasions (obviously varies pending on petrol prices) and thats just going to work and coming home, which is bout 10 miles each way. Was excellent not having to fill the Punto for ages 
Average, £30 will get me about 300 miles.

wabbit is confused but it dont take much to confuse me!
90 miles to a tenner is pretty normal to me. If I drive slowly then 120 is possible, but where's the fun in driving slowly??
Oh, and don't forget that petrol keeps getting more expensive so you get less for your £10...

I got bored so I worked out the MPG's...
£10 = 12.5 litres @ 80p/litre
12.5 litres = 2.75 gallons (4.54 litres/gallon)
So...90 miles to a tenner = 32.7mpg
120 miles to a tenner = 44.4mpg
So much for small Fiats being economical!
