Vauxhall Curser
Three years ago we bought a Vauxhall Corsa Design 1400 automatic. We like the car but we are not happy with the fuel consumption. The manual says it should do 330 miles on a full tank but our car only does 250 (£60). We have had it checked by the Vauxhall dealer and we were told it was ok. Do we get rid of it?

Never expect too much for a torque converter auto such as this. Especially one used for comparatively short runs. But getting rid and buying something more economical could cost you a lot more than the saving in fuel costs.
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.
