"A" Class 160 MPG Petrol

[peteanspach]

Have had my 3 year old "A" class for a week now. It has covered 19000 miles and seems to have been well cared for. I have covered 400 miles on a tank of petrol with motor ay driving 80mph and light comuting to work. I am only geting about 34 mpg. Is that ok? I would have expected about 40 mpg. The car is very nippy and likes to be driven in a a lively maner. I am delighted with the build quality of the car.

I think you have answered your own question. If the car likes to be driven in a lively maner then your fuel consumption will reflect this. 34 is possibly low, I can't remember the exact figures my father used to get from his A160 but I think high 30's. However fuel econoomy very much depends upon the type and length of journeys you do.

I. However fuel econoomy very much depends upon the type and length of journeys you do.

It also depends on where you live, One of my cars averaged 25.7 in herts,
Only get 22 down here in Dorset, cold weather does not help.
