Polo returning poor economy.
I worked out my Polo was only getting 37.5 mpg – that’s mostly a 6 miles straightforward run to work and back , no real stopping , and I travel against the traffic.
I’ve been driving 20 years, my car is fully serviced and I have 35 psi tyre pressure. I like to drive around 55mph so I think I’m reasonable.
I think I may sell the car as my son and other drivers agree with you - I think I might get better mpg and reliability from a Yaris D4D.

You might. But first check the air filter. If it is choked and dirty, that will be the reason for your poor mpg.

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.
