    Have you worked that out tank brim to tank brim? Our 1.3 Mazda2 returns 35mpg across a tank, and a mate with the same car reports likewise. Economical they ain't.

    Yes.:) Every time. Although my journeys are short they are mostly on an A road (A338 between Salisbury and Ringwood). We've done about 27000 miles in it since new in September 2009. It has never returned under 45 mpg to the best of my recollection. I would certainly be concerned if it did. Used on the occasional longer, motorway journey it does in the low 50s.

    I am very pleased with its economy. If you and your mate are getting 35mpg there is something wrong or different somewhere.

    Here you go. Just filled it up today (brim to brim;)).

    312.1 miles. 30.92 litres. 45.9mpg.
