Motorway miles you won't be far wrong.
My 1.6 was not so much worse than my 1.2, partly because the 1.2 needed to be high up the rev range to go anywhere.

you'l find the top half of the guage goes slower, Mainly due to using up fuel in the filler neck before the guage even starts to move

I'm seeking around 400 to a tank in my 1.6 pug. But that's me driving 60/70 one day and 80/90 the next day. Depends what mood i'm in really.

Urgh my 1.2 8v usually gets me 170-200 for a full tank (like 35-40 quid)... and there was me going by the rule "smallest engine - better consumption" NO.... now i have a slow car that drinks more petrol than a space shuttle.
