Right I used to get 30-32mpg outta my sri normal town driving.

Lately been get 24mpg only thing I have changed is the panel filter. That wouldn't cus that much difference would it, or is there something wrong with the car

Im getting about 250 miles from a full tank on my 1.4 8v. I need to start driving a bit slower me thinks. Or get a none drilled airbox and an OE Pannel filter.

Vauxhall are useless, said there's nothing they can do, so losing 10mpg for no reason is acceptable

I get about 350 miles to £25-26 just geneally driving not flooring it everywhere but not driving to conserve fuel either.

Also i drove to France resently but my mate olny had an old 4 gear 1.1 fiesta and he was following me so i promised i'd keep to 60 as much as poss, which i did, did 70 for overtakes sometimes etc but i did 260 miles on £16 of fuel down to portsmouth to catch the ferry!I couldnt believe it when i topped my tank back up! shows how much fuel u can save compared to doing norm M-way speeds!
