General Economy on 1.3 multi jet

[nec]

Hi All

First return over 200 miles shows 41 mpg at 'running in speeds' - is that going to get better can anyone tell me?

Secondly there is no 'red' markings on the rev counter - do we know the rev rate for optimum power and also what is considered to be the maximum rev rate please?

Thanks

Hi nec
I have an 05 1.3 family doblo the 70bhp version , we get about 42mpg around town and on a run it goes up to about 46mpg thats driving at about 70 to 80 on the motorway, according to my fiat manual max torque is produced at 1750 rpm and max bhp is at 4000 rpm hope this helps

You'll find out maximum revs when it all goes very flat, when the governor kicks in!

Thanks both for the responses - I should have thought to read the manual but being a male species of course that is alien to me till I get stuck

No where near the guverner as yet (hopefully) - will wait till I have a few more hundreds on the clock. Can anyone say where the limit is - and i have checked the manual

thanks again
