What fuel consumption should I expect?

I own a W Reg Vauxhall Astra 1.6 16v.

Can you tell me how much fuel my car should use? What mpg should I expect in different situations?

Answered by Honest John
Between 30 and 40mpg depending on the way you use it. 25 short runs from cold. 30 about town. 40 on a long run.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
