General Fuel consumption Firefly 1.00 engine.

[lingottobuilt]

I'm thinking of upgrading from my really great Panda to a 500x 1 litre Firefly..
What are the best fuel consumption figures, from these engines?.....
I have gone back about 15 pages on this 500x thread and cant see any articles, which surprises me a little.

Thanks.

Generally there seems to be no discussions on fuel consumption. Possibly for the older 500X models but not more recently on the Firefly 1.0 model.

The only official, checked but still probably manipulated figures are those on other auto media car and manufacturer web sites.

Figures posted in forums like here I take with little reliance. I've seen vastly varying figures which never match my figures. For every car I've had since my 600D I've kept a log book of every fill-up with both gallons/litres and price paid. So full life long MPG for every vehicle. These figure I trust! Everything else is at best correct but more likely manufacturer spin (based on formal test that bear no resemblance to real daily reality) or users not being meticulous in their data. e.g. was that what the car told you or was that a long term accurate brim to brim filling and recording?

You should be able to compare the official doctored numbers between the two models to see what difference there is.

and you'll know the Panda real life consumption from experience .... gauge it from those figures.

Are they both NA engines?
