Re: 307sw 1.6 hdi110, miles per gallon?

thanks for all the chatter.
I check the miles per gallon by setting the trip metre to zero after
filling 
it up. then the next time I fill up I check the mile travelled and the 
litres used. Divide by 4.54 and you have the mpg.

It is a 54 plate 307SW 1.6 HDI

No, the brakes aren't binding and the amount the last owner spent on 
servicing everything should be brand new and tip top condition. I found a 
booklet with all the costs - unbelievably expensive to keep maintained 
considering that it is only just out of warranty. Or, you could use this 
book as a perfect example why you shouldn't get the car serviced from the 
same dealer you purchased it from.
