I am not looking at economy, just making sure it's quite normal for it to performance mpg like this, so I know my car is right. I have had worst from my evo's and scooby's!

By n large then it would appear that your mpg is about right
for the 'conditions' that you are driving it under.

ForFour 1.3 (2006)

Personal best: 810 km with 39,5 litres.
39,5 litres / 8,1 (100km) = 4,88 litres / 100km
48.4 MPG

Normal for me:
740-760 km with one tank
39,5 litres / 7,5 (100km) = 5.22 litres / 100km
45.1 MPG

When summer comes probably going to break that 50 MPG ;)

With my Brabus, the mpg is directly proportional to the amount of fun I am having :)

On the Autobahn…



Translated to ‘English’ …

Total Distance: 353 km = 220.6 miles

Average Speed: 152 km/h = 95 mph

Fuel Consumption: 20.3 l/100km = 13.9 mpg

At the other end of the scale, I once drove all the way from Leeds in the UK back home to Germany at a much more sedate 100 km/h (about 60 mph) and averaged 6.6 l/100km (42.8 mpg).

Average around town is usually less than 8 l/100km (over 35 mpg).

Last summer - visiting friends and family in Rawdon and Horseforth.  ;D

Do you live near there? If so I'll give you a shout next time I visit - probably won't be this year though.  :(

Looking at all the numbers i feel like my driving must be crazy. 1.3 passion.
I'm not a fast driver but i only get 300mile to a tank.
my best is 6.06l/100km and worst is 10.85l/100km with a total avg of 7.64l/100km.

It could be down to Polish drivers start off fast and change speed stupidly. It is sometimes hard to keep a safe gap without pissing off people behind and them overtaking and stealing your lovely breaking room you left.

If you're driving in town/city/suburb's then your fuel consumption
will most definitely be less than most people expect.
The 1.3 'urban cycle' is supposed to give 39.2mpg....but that is at a
sustained speed...30mph..so realistically, with stops n starts, I'd say
35mpg at best.
And...are you working out your figures based on brimming the tank
each time ? If not you could be well out by just 'guesstimating' levels.
