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.
