Just had one of these as a hire car ... after 3 days of driving it like a hire car is meant to be driven ... it returned 44mpg. I was amazed ...... a diesel car would never return that if driven the way I drove this Astra. Looks like petrol engines are getting better and more efficient in response to the increased popularity in diesel cars.
