I previously owned a Mk6 1.4T (140) and I could achieve the manufacturers MPG around town without trying as I can now with the 1.6 n/a VVTi but I have Just seen a couple of entries for the new Astra K on Honest John's real MPG web site and its not looking good...it states cars generally achieve 85% of their official MPG figure stated by the manufacturer....entries listed so far are:-
1.0 turbo = (42mpg) 65%
1.4T 150 = (29.6mpg) 58% :shock:
Now I thought the new generation of engines were suppose to be more efficient and the new design lighter than the previous model, which is suppose to help in better economy?? has anyone got any comments on the above?
I was intending to test drive the 1.0 and 1.4T but if these figures are correct then I think I will need to have a serious think about what car to purchase next.
