After having a 1.0T as a courtesy car I am now looking to trade the J in Asap.
Really impressed with the response from this little engine and the way the car drives in general but can anyone advise how good the 1.0T is on the motorway in terms of mpg if you were travelling between 75-80mph? I know it won't return what Vauxhall say but would it be mid to late 40's ,maybe even 50mpg.? Just curious as I do quite a few long journeys through out the year and can get 42 out of a 1.6 J.
I did manage 37 round town but that was with the sport switch on every time and enjoying the turbo
plus that was only the trip reading and not a manual calculation.
Also what's the economy like if you drive normally around town? Anyone seen 40?
One thing I did find strange is not been able to use 4th at 30mph as it just didn't feel right and the shift indicator was saying use 3rd...I assume this is the norm for this engine but would welcome any comments from someone who already has one
