Very Bad MPG, Coil Pack Gubbed?

[Ryan]

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions why my wee 1.2 is only returning about 180 miles for £30 of petrol?

I think it may be the coil pack? Can any one confirm or come up with any new suggestions?

Cheers guys

Do you give it some stick? my 1.4 gets 240 from £30, which is how much I filled up last time and the petrol light is on now at around 236 miles over bumps so say I can take it to 250 miles from £30 quid.

Thats in and around town no fast roads, with sub in boot always on. But I cant afford to drive like a looney so I'm in 5th as quick as possible, fast accelo (well okay as fast as it can do) upto about 3k revs.

But then again for a 1.4 mines not even good, compaired to my old Fiesta.

Nope dont really give it much stick, dont see the point in a 1.2!

When I got it, it returned bout 300 miles 2 £30, been driving my mums Ford Ka and it returns over 300 miles for £30 which is really good, but then again you do get laughed at everywhere you go lol

Any one else got any ideas?

About 34mpg then, My Dad gets 30 in his 1.6 Mitshibishi around town and it's near brand new so yours not that bad.

realy? lol, i thought i was supposed to get more

To be honest it's a grey area, some of the 16v's on here could probably beat our MPG's. obviously the condition and when the car was last serviced is a big factor in it.

gone are the days of my perodua nippa returning 50+ MPG lol

I know the coil pack is a common problem on clios,

Thnak I might take the risk and get a new 1 and see if things improve.

The car had a major service a few months back so its been a few months since a service so surely this wouldn't afect it?
