Town driving is no good for fuel economy. Lots of stopping and starting.
Need to fill your tank as mentioned.
Don't think about the cost of money getting you miles, think of how far you going with the petrol in the tank. Obviously 5 years ago you would get 100miles to £10 but now that 100miles costs almost £20. It's not that it costs more for miles its that your £ doesn't get you as much petrol.
Try and watch your right foot, if you speed up and then break hard alot then you will use more petrol.
£20 your getting about 17.5ltr, doing 100 miles, your mpg will be around 26.
Looking at the figures on a std 1.2 corsa you should be getting 44mpg, but then with the body kit etc on that.
I would say try and put £20 in again and keep an eye on your driving, try and use the highest gear you can, if your still getting crap mpg then take it in to a garage to be looked at.
I get about 100 miles to £20, witch is about half a tank

I'd say the same for yours too, std you should be getting 36/37mpg
I gave myself a full tank Sunday... £60... it was on on empty yesterday, got roughly 150 miles!
I would love to get 100 miles to £20!!!
book figures mpg are bollocks anyways never known one to being close to right. Bet they don't test it on a public road where hills and lights are factored into it
tbf you'll be surprised how much drag a body kit makes and the extra weight of all that filler. If it bothers you that much like I said get a fault code read as if any sensors are fucked then you'll know. When was it last serviced?
and deep you must be thrashing it or something is wrong with your car my 325 was never that bad
About half of that was motorway driving at slightly higher speeds, the rest was cruising.
It is due a major service which will be getting done this month which should hopefully improve it a little bit.
You have added some pretty heavey stuff to your car dude..
Dunno about drag though, if anything it should be smoother and cut through the air better.. unless your front bumper is acting like a windbreak..
Does the car seem slower?
More sluggish?
Since you have had the kit that is..
Also, have you checked your tyre pressures?
That can alter the MPG if i recall correctly..
I recon with all or some of the above thoughts, tied with the rise in the cost of petrol.. I'd say you have your answer!
