It does 7l/100km
I don't know how much ois that in mpg... but it's a very good value to a car with 150bhp. |
According to the ECE cycle figures (constructers are obliged to publish those figures in their brochures):
Urban cycle: 7,9 l/100km = 29,8 mpg
Rural cycle: 4,5 l/100km = 52,3 mpg
Combined cycle: 5,7 l/100km = 41,3 mpg
The problem with those official ECE cycle figures is they're not realistic for bigger and more powerful engines, cause those cycles are completely not a heavy load for the engines. Those cycles consist of slow accelerations and max speed during the rural and combined cycle is 120 kph or 75 mph.
So your 7l/100 km (= 33,6 mpg) is a more realistic figure for the combined cycle than the official one.
