That mpg sounds fine to me, i average around the 30 mark,but my girlfriends best is 43mpg.
ph1 172...a red one
I cant get mine over 30MPG in cold weather, usually around 32/34 in warmer temps...

I have been getting a bit higher. I always fill up with optimax. last week i didn't ragit at all and saw it creep up to 40.5mpg and never lower than 35/36mpg. Usually it hovers around the 35mpg on normal drive to work, maybe a bit lower if i'm late! I put it down the the optimax...which is an issue that is always debated.

forgot to mention, i was consciously driving conservatively to get the 40.5mpg, was curious to see how high i could get it!
.......i am, however, a bit critical of the higher mpg readings i have been getting lately because i think the needle on the fuel guage goes down too fast to tally with the it....that goes for my usual 35mpg reading too.
hope you enjoy your new mk1 nathan! (u have made a good choice!

Clio 04 172 Cup
Hello all,
I am also a new and very proud owner of a 04 cup 172 13500miles. I have driven it 3 times since we got it and Im lucky if I get 23mph but I do have a lead foot though! The wife on the other hand can get just over 40mph. It is totaly standard so no petrol using mods yet!! We had a 1.2 16valve clio before and she was getting 46mpg out of that so Im impressed with mpg.

The tank on the clio is very small about £40 to fill from empty and yes it does break my heart when you see the needle plummit.

As to people saying they dont use the A/C or use it as little as possable. It is very important that it is run regularly and checked out anually dont take it to a dealer! Take it to a good independant fridge engineer and they will test it for you for very little and if gas is needed they will top it up unlike the robber dealers who will replace filter/driers when not needed.
