how many miles do u guys get out of a tenner, i do about 70 miles and i got a 1.2l, is that the average amount of fuel consumption or should i be doing more?
and does your petrol meter drop when ur goin uphill or downhill coz my petrol meter always goes down quite significantly if im on a hill or goin downhill?

i get between 90-110 depending on how heavy my right foot is outa a 1.6 16v with full zorst and k&N panel filter.
Yeah when i boot mine my fuel gauge drops  i've had 3 corsas and they all do the same.
Another sort of interesting point - the most uneconmically corsa outa my collection for fuel was the 1.0, then 1.6 16v then 1.4 16v being the best

when i say that mine does 70, i mean little local journeys, not a motorway journey or continuous driving for hours and hours

i get 100 mile max and 70 miles min out of £10 depending on types of driving in my 1.6 Gsi,
its got viper induction and full cat back zorst, i hav noticed the amount of miles i get dropped noticebaly since had the induction kit in comparison to the air box!!  maybe its coz of the increased air intake causes more fuel to burn or/and i put my foot down a lot more for the nice growling sound

I've worked it out and before my air flow mass meter was fixed i was getting only around 230 miles to a tank of optimax!!!!
Haven't checked it since it was fixed but i'm hoping to get significantly more miles!
Car must have been overfueling allot.
It's a 1.2 16v by the way.

About 70-100 miles depending on how I drive it. You'll do much less with more short journeys with a cold engine.
