just thought the punto would be reving its b****cks off

@ 70 the punto will be better on fuel I expect, but much rather be in the Clio.

A 1.2 on a motorway, no ta ! 2.0 all the way.

 

[GazM]

gotta be the clio, if you take it easy there won't be much in it. I had a 1.2 punto as a hire car for a couple of months months and it was unbelivably crap on fuel - probably cos you have to rev the balls off it to get anywhere

 

[DazG]

You know it make senses to take the clio!

The Punto is a mk2 then I take it!

 

[Ian_182]

Clio for me too.You wont really notice the difference in fuel at the end of the trip.There probably wont even be 10 quid in it

 

[Edd]

My Girlfriends 1.2 55 plate punto does 50mpg in general and then at 60/65mph on motorway thats up to nearly 60mpg. So it could cost you 50% more to take the clio, especially with optimax being £1.20ish.

I'd still take the clio though.

Cat171 knowsit.

The 172 should average over 40mpg easy at 70-80.

Just dont be a chav and race anyone. Giving is RS owners a bad name.

What are you going to do when you do your 400 miles? If its just staying put take the clio. If its all town driving I'd be tempted to take the Punto.

 

[Timmay]

172 definitely

 

[partyboy23]

tbh i drove my moms fiesta 1.2 fom birmingham to catterick when my clio was off road,nearly no difference in fuel as i had to rag the 1.2 to get it any where
