Not bad at all

I'm guessing that's in a diesel? It's quite depressing that my mother's massive Citroen C5 estate diesel gets considerably better fuel economy than my piddly little 1.4 fabia petrol... Makes me want a Fabia VRS even more

Lots of cars have a display showing your current MPG these days, and I know for a fact that they make the majority of people drive more economically. But what they really need is a way for you to key in how much the fuel you just bought cost you per litre and tell you how many £'s you're burning per mile. That'd really make people drive economically!
