Now I'm aware that all engines loosen up a bit over time and, from new, won't be at their best but I must say I was shocked at the economy (or rather lack thereof) I was getting today from my 1.4 COD.
Cruising at a constant 70mph in 6th, I was averaging about 34mpg. I know the 1.4 is no diesel but that's simply awful. The car only has about 250miles on the clock so far so I'm presuming this is because the engine is new and still quite tight.
Anyone else here with this engine experience poor economy from new?
