I have just done my first fill up on a N reg 1.6 Honda Civic and
it shows a return of 27.5 MPG. This seemed a little low to me. I
am sure when I used to drive cars of a similar age I always
managed a minimum of 30 MPG and a little more on a motorway run.

I doubt there is anything wrong with the car and maybe it is me
who has got used to a diesel van that does over 40MPG for my
normal motoring. What does anyone out there get MPG wise on their
cars so I can
assume things are OK before I start looking for problems and doing
un-needed DIY work on the car?


37mpg over 1500 miles - 1989 Golf GTI.


Those 1.8 digifant GTi's are stupidly good on fuel when running
'just nice'.

Brilliant little beasts. The valve stem seals could do with doing on
mine though, so it's 20V turbo time .

I recently returned to the fold after a couple of years with a 20v
Seat Leon Cupra - very swish :-)

That never seemed to go below 35mpg.

Should've bought the MK2 first and swapped engines .
