40 MPG 1.2 clio

[Louis]

What sort of mpg should i be getting on a 1.2 5door mk2 clio? I recently had the cat changed as it had split on the flexi, so it's gone up from then but i'm still only getting around 40-42 and that on motorway miles. Is this normal? Is there anyway to make this better? I've seen some that were near 60! Will it just go up with more driving? I've only done about 500 miles on the car myself but i reset it just before getting onto the motorway and ended up with 40 mpg.

Is this at 50/60/70? I can get 43 mpg at 50 but it drops to 33/34 at 70.

This was varying from 60-75. Maybe it isn't as bad as i'm thinking as I did stop for roundabouts etc.

I do 350 mile a week commuting on mainly dual carriageways at 70mph

Trip computer doesnt go below 43 so dont know what that is in the real world
