Well, 2,000 miles into ownership & average mpg (brim to brim calculation) is 39.3 - so happy with this. Onboard computer showing 40.8 mpg average. Have tried super unleaded with no noticeable performance difference. Next, will try running slightly higher psi in tyres to see if there's a goldilocks tyre pressure, giving best ride comfort, handling & fuel economy.

Not bad going - I have the manual version and am getting about 30mpg at the moment. Saying that, its start stop traffic and no long runs for a month or so. Even switched the auto start / stop off when in traffic so that probably doesn't help!

Love to know what tyre pressures you are inflating to? Right now Ive been working on between 37 - 39psi and am getting 38mpg average with my 1.2 petrol manual. Ive been meaning to see what others do.

As for super unleaded, I gave up on that ages back, never noticed a difference at all.

Been running at 32psi (2.2 bar) the light load recommended pressures. Moved to 34psi which has made ride slight harsher, but economy slightly up! The recommended loaded pressures for my Michelin Crossclimate + 18inch tyres are 35 front 36 rear. Strangely, the load rating for my tyres is 102 compared to the 98 of the standard (18inch) summer tyres.
