Hi,

For those of you lucky enough to already have your 2008, I wondered how you are doing on fuel consumption?

I have the 1.6 HDI Stop and start (92bHP) and have got around 55mpg since picking up the car a month ago (around 800 miles mixed round town and motorway).

I am reasonably happy with this! (compared with the 35mpg of my old citroen C4)

What do you think.

Hi Chopper,I have the same engine as you with 1300 on the clock,when I got her I was doing motorway journeys and was getting 63 mpg but am off work at the moment and visiting doctors and hospital so a lot of local running which has dropped the mpg down to 57. I am really happy as I had an Astra before which was lucky to get 30/35 on similar runs.

1.2 manual, 54 overall with a fair bit of urban work. Woman is a more enthusiastic driver than me and can wind that down to 45-46 with little trouble. Best of all, petrol is about 45p a gallon cheaper than diesel so I'm quids in.Edited by: Don Bernard

It's not that bad. I get about 62mpg from mixed driving with my 1.6 BlueHDi ( <1000miles on clock). If your car is automatic or loaded with more than 1 person, it may have a slight impact in mpg as well.

Getting a little bit better with 64mpg for the 120 BlueHDI on a mix of roads after only 500 miles. Hoping for some improvement but still happy as it beats my old diesel Nissan Note hands down for comfort.
