    No, it's about right actually.

    Funnily enough, my sis-in-law changed from a 318 to a 323 last year and found........the 323 used slightly less !! I think the smaller engines are, in fact, too small for those cars, and are working overtime........the larger engine has an easier life, less stress, and so is economic.

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Agreed.
    My '00 with the older 1.9 rarely went over 30mpg, usually hovering around 27-28mpg. Driving was about 90% city/urban.
