Mine's still really low mileage ( just gone over 30,000 miles , and was 9 years old back in September  ) , but It's very reassuring to hear of these cars that have reached these high milages  , All credit to the components and build quality .

Well, you'd be surprised between the difference between town mileage and A road/motorway driving.

My last 2 tankfuls (in which i have put the stock intake back on) have got me 450 miles each time, thats almost 50mpg!

Ah - the 1.6 is just a rough guide though.
