Hi
Just wondered what people on this forum thought about my fuel consumption, which I think is poor and am worried in case there is anything wrong. Please post your consumption so I can compare.
I have a Zafira B 05 plate 2.2SRI petrol and currently get the following mpg
Around town 24mpg
Motorway in 6th gear 48mpg full load 4 passengers travelling at 56mph.
Is this good or bad?
My thoughts are that motorway driving is good but around town is poor. Can anyone suggest some remedies to improve my fuel consumption apart from not driving. I have my tyres inflated to 46psi, I drive at 56mph to get the above motorway fuel consumption and I do not have the fuel tank full and keep the boot empty to reduce weight. I also drive like a vicar so any other tips much appreciated.
