Is my car drinking to much?

  • Hi All,

    I have a Honda CRV Auto Petrol 54 Plate and I have been monitoring the petrol.

    Yesterday I paid £20 for unleaded petrol at around 119p per litre and after 45 miles I need to refill. According to my calculations that is around 12mpg. All the websites and reviews that I have read for this say the car should be giving me at least 30mpg so I am unsure on what to do.

    The tyres are full of air, the air filter has been changed, fresh oil so is there anything else I should be doing or should I sell this car on?

    Thanks

    Is the car shuddering or holding onto gears, when accelerating from a standstill up to motorway speeds?
    Beware rogues, scoundrels and cowboys. We will hunt you down, then expose and eradicate you from our daily lives.
    Dominic Littlewood's words, not mine :D
  • I use fuelly.com and monitor my MPG constantly. It is the only way to really know what you are doing. You can't simply guess these things.
