I have a 2001 1.6 Petrol Auto - and typically achieve 30-33 miles per
imperial gallon on urban driving - with 37mpg on motorway trips.
However, recently I chose to drive at no more than 70mph on the clock on
a long quiet road and motorway drive and achieved 40-43mpg - I was very
impressed - for an auto box 1.6.
