    Hi all,

    What do you reckon to this mileage?

    98 Mazda, 1.4 Engine, regularly servicing etc:

    Mostly short trips (6 miles) in and out of town.

    Getting about 95 miles for €20 petrol. (12.5 litres).

    Thanks

    That's 34.55 mpg il admit that is not that great. But if its all short trips I don't think you would get much more as your engine is never up to proper operating temperature.
