    The fuel saving must be worth reading the side of every van and truck.

    IQ 1.3 stormtrooper helmet white ;) with a heavy right foot.
    60mpg (computer doen't show higher due to a software bug) @ 40/50mph on a flat
    40mpg around hilly derbyshire @ 30mph
    45-50mpg @ 70, drops 5 mpg every 10 mph above

    Decent mpg for a 1.3 petrol as it has very high gearing, 2nd will take it to near 70

    I have an IQ3 too, it is the 1.3 6spd manual and I achieve consistently 48-51mpg in hilly Derbyshire, increases on a run.. dual carriageway and motorway to a max of 54mpg. This drops off quickly to mid 40's if I cane it though.

    Is this the same 1.3 as in old Corollas?

    Zafira 1.8 26mpg urban to 34 motorway.
    Usually loaded to the maximum gross weight, and driven like it's been stolen.
    (my wife can get 32mpg urban empty)

    Peugeot 105 1.5d average 55mpg, mixed urban/motorway

    Mondeo 2.0 tdci 52 MPG average.
    Mondeo 2.0 tdci 44 MPG average.
    Same journeys, same car, 2 different drivers.

    Mondeo 2.0 TDCI 2006 115K miles on clock (car mileage must also be a factor?)

    Around 48~50 MPG always. Based on varied driving.

    And don't forget the air con! My climate control is never off all year round. Bigger engines can handle air con with less noticeable decline of MPG than small ones.
